  • Cristiano Ronaldo might reunite with his former boss Jose Mourinho who is in charge of Italian side AS Roma

  • New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is said to be uninterested in the striker and Roma have been identified as a perfect destination for the forward

Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be keen on leaving Manchester United following their turbulent season, even though he was the club’s top scorer.

It was gathered that the former Real Madrid striker wants to leave the Old Trafford outfit and possibly link up with his former boss Jose Mourinho at AS Roma.

Mourinho led the Italian side to win the maiden edition of the European Conference league last season and the tactician is one man who knows how to utilise CR7, SunSport reports.

The Portuguese tactician was in charge of Ronaldo for three years at Real Madrid and the pair won the La Liga and Copa del Rey together at the Spanish capital.

Daily Star reports that Ronaldo has great memories of playing under his compatriot and will love to leverage his links to move away from the Theatre of Dreams.

Although Ronaldo made the PFA Team of the Season, it was a far from an impressive season as the Red Devils failed to qualify for the Champions League.

The striker is said to be frustrated and he is already looking for a way out as La Repubblica claims in a report that Ronaldo does not feel part of new boss Erik ten Hag's plans a the Red Devils.

His agent Jorge Mendes has activated plans to find a new club for his client and he is already weighing up their options.

Surprisingly, Roma have been identified and the Serie A side will aim at exploiting tax reductions that would come with signing Ronaldo.

Further reports say Mendes is a close associate of the Stadio Olimpico hierarchy having already moved Rui Patricio and Sergio Oliveira to the club.

Ronaldo takes his family on a special holiday treat

Meanwhile, Sports Brief earlier reported that Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo is having a luxurious vacation with his family on a private island in Majorca, Spain.

The 37-year-old striker can be seen enjoying his holiday with his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, alongside his five children in his £5.5m yacht.

Ronaldo has also shipped his rare £8.5million Bugatti Centodieci to the private island to use as his family SUV.
