  • Real Madrid are reportedly monitoring Cristiano Ronaldo's situation at Old Trafford ahead of the summer transfer window
  • The La Liga champions are said to be attracted by Ronaldo's goalscoring form with Manchester United this term
  • The 37-year-old has scored an incredible 23 goals for the Red Devils, with 17 of those coming in the Premier League

Cristiano Ronaldo could reportedly make a sensational return to Real Madrid with his future with Manchester United still uncertain.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has been the shining light at Old Trafford this term amid United's poor run of form that has them in danger of missing out on a Champions League spot.

Ronaldo has already notched 23 goals this season across competitions, with 17 of those coming in the Premier League.

Despite penning a two-year deal on his return to the Theatre of Dreams last summer, reports suggest he could depart the club before the expiry of his contract owing to the ever-changing landscape at Man United.

Real Madrid keen on a reunion with Ronaldo

The Mirror reports Ronaldo's uncertain future with United has put Real Madrid chiefs on red alert, with the La Liga champions reportedly keen on a move.

According to the publication, Real are largely attracted by Ronaldo's performances this term and are certain he can keep up with that by playing within a better side.

Reports linking the Portuguese superstar with a return to the Santiago Bernabeu come at a time it is unclear which role the forward will play under new boss, Erik ten Hag.

The ex-Juve ace has been a mainstay figure under former manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Ral Rangnick who took charge in an interim capacity.

Ronaldo continues hot form after losing son

Ronaldo, who recently lost his newborn son has been in hot form in recent days, scoring against both Arsenal and Chelsea.

The 37-year-old scored his 100th Premier League goal during United's 3-1 defeat at the Emirates.

He followed up that landmark goal last Thursday when he found the back of the net against Chelsea to earn his side a hard-earned 1-1 draw at Old Trafford.
