Sporting Lisbon sporting director Hugo Viana does not believe it will be "possible" for Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo to return to his boyhood club.
Speculation concerning the Portuguese star's future has been a hot topic over the last 24 hours, following reports that new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly had met Jorge Mendes and discussed the prospect of luring Ronaldo to Stamford Bridge. However, United are adamant that he will not be sold this summer and he is set to play a key part in Erik ten Hag's plans this forthcoming season.
The former Real Madrid man returned to United almost a year ago from Juventus and enjoyed an excellent first campaign back at Old Trafford, scoring 24 goals in all competitions. He was the club's best outfielder player by a country mile and Ten Hag is looking to maximise his outstanding talent this term.
