“I know Bruno [Fernandes]’s been talking to him as well and he knows what we feel about him.
“And if he was ever gonna move away from Juventus he knows we’re here.
“We focus on the ones we have there, I don’t want to speculate too much on Cristiano, what’s happening there with the press.
“I’ve said many times with speculation, when you’re Man United, when you’re Ronaldo, when you’re [Lionel] Messi, when you’re [Paul] Pogba, when you’re Bruno, you have to read a lot about yourselves.

Jadon Sancho’s reaction to Cristiano Ronaldo’s return
“So let’s see what happens with Cristiano, he’s such a legend of this club.
“Cristiano has been a legend of this club, he is a legend of this club, he’s the greatest player of all time, if you ask me.
“I was fortunate enough to play with him, I coached him (in 2008) when I got my job.
“He almost retired me in that Wolverhampton game (in 2003) when I got injured because he kept switching sides!
“Such a tremendous human being, as well. Let’s see what happens with Cristiano.
“Everyone who’s played with him has a soft spot for him.”
Manchester United will be back in action on Sunday afternoon, travelling to Molineux to take on Wolves.
