Cristiano Ronaldo has been offered an unlikely escape route from his Manchester United nightmare - after Corinthians president Duilio Monteiro Alves confessed that he wants to do a deal.
Ronaldo only sealed his sensational return to Old Trafford last summer, but the 37-year-old is desperate to make a speedy exit in the wake of United's disastrous 2021-22 season. The former Juventus man has spent the last 19 years starring in the Champions League, but United failed to qualify for Europe's biggest club competition.
United's absence from the Champions League is a major factor behind Ronaldo's desire to force an exit along with a belief that they cannot compete for silverware in new boss Erik ten Hag's debut season. Publicly, the club have reiterated that they have no appetite to sell their talisman, who plundered 24 goals in all competitions last year.
