Lobi Stars who are a Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) club have stated clearly that they have not made contact with the representatives of Cristiano Ronaldo over a move.

This comes days after Manchester United announced the termination of Ronaldo's contract which means that the Portugal international will have to find another club in January.

Ronaldo suffered the consequences of his controversial interview with Piers Morgan where he disclosed unpleasant revelations about the Old Trafford's board.

One major thing Ronaldo said was that he has no respect for current United coach Erik Tag based on how he has treated him at the club.

Against Saudi Arabia, there were signs the Argentine's were going to dominate, and Messi was typically at the heart of most of the attacks.

Argentina was eventually handed a chance to take the lead after a VAR check deemed Leandro Paredes to have been fouled in the penalty area at the Lusail Stadium.
