However, the Portuguese talisman could finally have his wish granted, with Sporting Lisbon seemingly his next destination.

According to The Independent, Sporting are keen to re-sign their former prodigy, close to two decades after he left them.

The Portuguese giants are said to have made contact with Old Trafford chiefs with the view of signing Ronaldo if United terminate his lucrative contract.

A return to Sporting Lisbon has the blessing of Ronaldo's mother, Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, who has always dreamed of seeing her son back at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.
