And famous pundit Garth Crooks has stated that Ronaldo will do well in the MLS should he join David Beckham at Inter Miami.

Crooks said in his Team of the Week column for the BBC:

"I am a huge admirer of Ronaldo. His professionalism is beyond reproach and he has more than fulfilled the expectations required of a 37-year-old player in the toughest league in the world. However, he is still a young man who needs a purpose in life.
"The United States might be the place to establish that purpose. David Beckham and Ronaldo would make a formidable partnership in Miami."

Lending credence to Crooks' claim, Beckham, as president of Inter, has already discussed the prospect of bringing the ex-Real Madrid, Juventus and Sporting CP ace stateside.

Why Ronaldo missed Man Utd vs Leicester showdown

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo has finally broken his silence after he missed Manchester United's Premier League clash with Leicester City on Saturday, April 2.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner failed to make the matchday squad for the cracker due to illness.

United announced in a statement that Ronaldo had experienced "flu-like symptoms" and was therefore not fit enough to play.

While discussing Ronaldo's situation, Man United interim boss Ralf Rangnick admitted it was "unfortunate" the striker was absent for selection.
