Ronaldo offered himself to Madrid

Reports recently did the rounds that Cristiano Ronaldo could find his way back to Madrid.

With his time at Manchester United almost all but over, unconfirmed reports suggested that Ronaldo offered himself to his former side until the end of the season, as a temporary replacement for Benzema.

Transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano stated this wasn’t the case and that Madrid weren’t interested in bringing Ronaldo back to the club, Football Espana reported.

Romano explained that Ancelotti wanted to build for the future with young players. The Italian manager also wasn’t keen to bring in new players in the middle of a season.

Could Ronaldo replace Benzema?

Could Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo find himself back with La Liga champions Real Madrid? This important question was reported on by Sports Brief earlier.

The Portuguese superstar is all but certain to leave Manchester following his recent explosive interview with Piers Morgan, in which he bad-mouthed many associated with the club.

Now the Red Devils are reportedly looking to force Ronaldo out of the club, following what they call a breach of contract after the comments he made during the interview, The Guardian reported.
