As Manchester United do all they can to keep hold of Cristiano Ronaldo, long-time rival Lionel Messi has been told none of the top six Premier League sides would want to sign him if he became available this summer.
Twelve months after re-signing for United in a sensational move, Ronaldo wants to leave Old Trafford but the club have doubled down on their stance that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is not for sale. That comes as Chelsea and other potential suitors continue to be linked with a move.
Ronaldo, 37, scored 24 goals in all competitions for United last term, but the Portugal captain has yet to return to pre-season training. The club will jet off on their summer tour of Thailand, Australia and Norway on Friday morning and could do so without their talisman.
