Ronaldo scored 24 goals and made three assists in 38 appearances in all competitions last season, but they failed to qualify for the Champions League.

It is believed that he is looking for a way out of the club, as reports now claim Napoli are one of the clubs interested in landing the Portuguese.

Soccernet reports that if such a transfer goes through, Ronaldo could form a deadly attacking pair with Nigerian striker Osimhen.

Man Utd order Ronaldo back to training

Meanwhile, Manchester United are ready to play hardball with Cristiano Ronaldo as they are not ready to release the 37-year-old from his contract at the Old Trafford club.

Ronaldo has asked the Red Devils to allow him to leave the club once they receive a suitable offer as he wants to keep playing in the UEFA Champions League.

Manchester United expect the star to resume pre-season training on Monday, July 4 at the club’s Carrington training base despite seeking a move away from the club.

Sports Brief earlier reported that details have emerged of how Cristiano Ronaldo annoyed Manchester United stars with his decision to return to Manchester United last summer.

Ronaldo is currently hitting negative headlines as far as United fans are concerned after it was revealed he wants to leave the club.

New reports now indicate that the 37-year-old rubbed his United teammates the wrong way immediately after he returned to Old Trafford.
