Sporting boss Ruben Amorim has moved to cool speculation that Cristiano Ronaldo was ever a target for the Portuguese giants.
Ronaldo’s Manchester United future is arguably the biggest story of the summer window so far, less than 12 months on from his emotional Old Trafford return. The 37-year-old ended his first season back in English football as United’s top scorer, but from a collective point of view, it was a miserable season for the Red Devils.
Despite his 18 goals in the league, United endured their worst ever Premier League season, racking up a feeble 58 points on their way to a sixth-placed finish. That lowly position also ensures they will not be in the Champions League next term - and will instead have to settle for the Europa League.
