With Manchester United missing out on this season’s Champions League, reports say Cristiano Ronaldo has held private meetings with his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson was instrumental to CR7’s return to the Old Trafford last summer after the Portuguese striker left Italian giants Juventus.

Mirror reports that Ronaldo is currently discussing his future with Sir Alex as they have held a series of private meetings over the player’s future.

It was gathered that Ronaldo and Ferguson both live in Cheshire and they have held discussions over cups of tea at their respective mansions.

Ronaldo is said to be regular at Ferguson’s house while the former manager, in turn, has also visited the player on several occasions.

In 2003, Ferguson first signed the Portuguese sensation to the Theatre of Dreams where he scored 24 goals and he was instrumental in CR7’s return in a £12.9 million move last summer.

The pair have always enjoyed a close relationship – and it's believed Ferguson is keen for Ronaldo to protect his legacy by staying at Old Trafford next season.

Ronaldo has delivered an outstanding season scoring 24 goals for United including hat-tricks against Tottenham and Norwich.
