Chronicle Live understands talk in the national media of the Magpies being given the opportunity to sign the 37-year-old in January are wide of the mark.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Eddie Howe 's side have been touted as a potential destination for Ronaldo as he seeks an urgent Old Trafford exit. However, one source close to the Red Devils says the Portuguese forward is only interested in leaving Manchester United for a club playing in the Champions League, something his representatives and super agent Jorge Mendes are well aware of.
