Not just that but their fan group also released a statement on the Ronaldo rumors, saying:

“Even in the highly unlikely hypothetical case that a player in steep decline such as Cristiano Ronaldo could guarantee us a trophy, we wouldn't accept his signing.

“The sense of being a part of our Atlético feeling isn't within his reach, unfortunately for him, and as such he could never receive our affection or recognition

“As such, we ask the club to reject his possible signing, if it has indeed been considered at any time.”

Atletico’s president has already clarified that they are not looking to sign Ronaldo. The 37-year-old is currently in Manchester and has started training with United as he awaits his future to be resolved.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cristiano Ronaldo could get his wish of leaving Manchester United this summer but on one stringent condition.

According to Sky Sports, the Red Devils will only allow the Portugal international to leave Old Trafford on loan if they fail to convince him to stay with the team this season.

Ronaldo finished last season as Manchester United’s top scorer with 24 goals in all competitions but wants a new challenge following the Red Devils’ failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
