Atletico Madrid fans have reacted angrily to reports that their club could be in the running to sign Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 37-year-old has yet to return for pre-season training under new manager Erik ten Hag with the Reds a matter of weeks away from kicking off their Premier League campaign. United's inactivity in the transfer market and a salary reduction are among the issues that have convinced Ronaldo to try and seek a move away from the club, the Manchester Evening News understands.
One of the clubs touted with a move for Ronaldo is Atletico Madrid. However, following his successful spell with Real Madrid, he is no stranger to fans of Los Blancos' rivals and has scored more goals against them than any club, notching 25 times in 37 meetings.
