MANCHESTER UNITED manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named Cristiano Ronaldo as one of two club legends he would love to sign.
Speculation has engulfed Juventus forward Ronaldo since the Italian champions crashed out of the Champions League in midweek.

And Solskjaer has now fuelled rumours about the Portuguese superstar returning to Old Trafford by naming him as one of two people he played alongside that he would like to have in his current Man Utd team.
Speaking to the club website, he said: “There’s a few players I’ve played with that I’d love to have in my team, of course.
“I’d love the player Roy Keane, I’m not sure if I could manage him though.
“I’d sign him every day of the week, Roy was so influential but then again, I played with Cristiano [Ronaldo].
“He’s been the best player in the world alongside Messi for the past 10-15 years now, so Cristiano.
“You’d take him in your team, for sure.”
Ronaldo has been linked this week with a move to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer.
The 36-year-old’s goalscoring record has been thoroughly impressive at Juventus, with the five-time Champions League winner netting 92 times in 121 games.

But his inability to guide the Serie A side to success in Europe has led to criticism from some fans.
Meanwhile, Man Utd are looking to strengthen at the end of the season in a bid to close the gap to high-flying Manchester City.
Solskjaer’s men currently sit second in the Premier League, 17 points behind their local rivals.
