Sporting Lisbon have made an approach to Cristiano Ronaldo as they look to offer him a way out of Manchester United, according to reports.
The Portuguese superstar began his career with the capital outfit and speculation has continued to swirl around his future at Old Trafford. United finished sixth last term, meaning a year in the Europa League, and frustration is growing as they struggle to make summer signings.
Ronaldo only return less than 12 months ago but is rumoured to be considering his future. He has told Erik ten Hag he wants to be part of a Manchester rebuild, but only if he's wanted. The Sun on Sunday has reported that Sporting chiefs believe they can convince him to quit the Premier League club however and move back to Lisbon.
