      RONAL-GO
      Cristiano Ronaldo is on the brink of a sensational return to Manchester United.
      The 36-year-old was available at 20/1 to rejoin the Red Devils last week and 6/1 on Friday morning. But those odds have now plummeted to 1/12 after some frenetic activity in the betting market.
      City were considered frontrunners for his signature after missing out on Tottenham talisman Harry Kane.
      But reports suggest the Premier League champions are now completely out of the running at odds of 33/1.

      HOME RON – LATEST
      Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of a shock return to Manchester United after a £21.4million bid was launched for the Juventus star.
      Premier League champions Manchester City have pulled out of the running despite being tipped to sign the wantaway striker.
      The Athletic state that Ronaldo‘s camp are in advanced talks with United over a deal, with a two-year contract mooted. Goal say it’s a done deal.
      A medical in Lisbon is planned, as reported by the Mail.
      And Sir Alex Ferguson has even thrown his weight behind the deal by contacting the player personally on Friday morning, according to MEN.
      The forward, 36, said his goodbyes to his Juventus colleagues after informing coach Massimiliano Allegri of his decision to leave.
      Allegri confirmed to reporters: “Yesterday Cristiano told me that he has no intention of continuing at Juventus. I am absolutely not disappointed. He has made his choice.”

      ‘DONE DEAL’
      Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United is reportedly a done deal!
      That is according to Goal’s Juventus correspondent Romeo Agresti.
      Man City pulled out earlier today and a Red Devils return has now reportedly been sealed for the 36-year-old.

      …
      “My story at Real Madrid has been written. It’s been recorded. In words and numbers, in trophies and titles, in records and in headlines. It’s in the Museum at the Bernabeu Stadium and it’s also in the minds of every fan of the club.
      “And beyond what I achieved, I remember that in those nine years I had a relationship of deep affection and respect for ‘merengue afición’, an affection and respect that I retain to this day, and that I will always cherish.
      “I know that the true Real Madrid fans will continue to have me in their hearts, and I will have them in mine.
      “As well as this most recent episode in Spain, there have been frequent news and stories associating me with a number of clubs in many different leagues, with nobody ever being concerned about trying to find out the actual truth.
      “I’m breaking my silence now to say that I can’t allow people to keep playing around with my name.
      “I remain focused on my career and in my work, committed and prepared for all the challenges that I have to face. Everything else? Everything else is just talk.”
      CHANGE OF HEART
      Cristiano Ronaldo posted this on Instagram just ten days ago.
      But with a move to Manchester United reportedly on the cards, it appears the Portuguese superstar has had a change of heart.
      He wrote: “Anyone who knows me is aware of how focused I am on my work.
      “Less talk and more action, this has been my guiding motto since the start of my career.
      “However, in view of everything that’s been said and written recently, I have to set out my position.
      “More than the disrespect for me as a man and as a player, the frivolous way that my future is covered in the media is disrespectful to all the clubs involved in these rumours, as well as to their players and staff….
      BACK RON
      Manchester United have offered Cristiano Ronaldo a contract after he held talks with former boss and ‘father figure’ Sir Alex Ferguson, according to reports.
      The Red Devils’ hierarchy have made a late bid to hijack that move, which led to City ending their pursuit for the star forward, and thus an epic return to Old Trafford is very much on the cards.
      According to Manchester Evening News, Ferguson reached out to the Portugal international on Friday when it seemed like he will be moving to the Etihad.
      And it seems like the legendary coach convinced him to snub the Citizens and consider a long-awaited homecoming. United‘s board is now reportedly trying to bring the 36-year-old back and have even drawn up a contract.
      Ronaldo and Ferguson go way back as the 79-year-old Scot was the one that signed the Portuguese superstar back in 2003 from Sporting Lisbon.
      The pair went on to win a total of three Premier League titles, one FA Cup as well as the 2008 Champions League.

      BREAKING!
      Manchester United have launched an official bid to sensationally re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo with a medical targeted in Lisbon.
      The Old Trafford legend informed current club Juventus of his desire to leave after three years in Italy.
      Initially, his agent held talks with City over a possible move but the Premier League champions ruled themselves out without making an offer.
      Attention then soon shifted to United after their manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – Ronaldo’s former team-mate – opened the door for a transfer.
      And according to Fabrizio Romano, Juve have received an offer from United, who are ready to find an agreement.
      With Ronaldo hoping to resolve his future immediately, a medical is already planned for Lisbon, the Daily Mail report.
      RON DECISION
      With Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly heading to Manchester United rather than City, it’s fair to say this Red Devils fans may be regretting this decision.
      Although it does appear to be this season’s shirt suggesting he’s bought the top and got Ronaldo printed on it just to burn it.
      Make of that what you will…

      MASSIVE SIGNING
      With Manchester United seemingly leading the race to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, this Red Devils account is pretty excited by the prospect…
      Man City are said to have pulled out leaving the path clear for Ronnie to return to his old club.
      Ronaldo to Man United will…— bring us trophies— possibly get Pogba to sign a new deal— inspire Rashford, Greenwood, Sancho, etc— attract more big names— take us back to the pinnacle of English & European football— send a message to the worldMASSIVE signing. #MUFC— UtdFaithfuls (@UtdFaithfuls) August 27, 2021

      HISTORY MAKER
      Last season, Harry Kane racked up one of the biggest points totals in Dream Team history. After finishing as the Premier League’s top scorer and top assist-provider, the Spurs forward boasted a tally of 357 points.
      Only eight players have achieved a greater season total in Dream Team’s long history. And right at the top of the list is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.
      In 2007/08, the Portuguese superstar amassed a frankly obscene 477 points – nobody else has breached the 400-point mark.
      You may remember that season as the time Ronaldo first ascended to best-in-the-world status as he plundered 31 goals in 34 league games, breaking the record for most goals in a 38-game Premier League campaign at the time – a record that has since been taken by Mohamed Salah.
      Mastering the role of the blistering inside forward from the right flank, the legendary No7 also scored three goals in the FA Cup and eight in a successful Champions League campaign for Man United, including a famous header in the final against Chelsea.
      Ronaldo finished the season with 42 goals from 49 appearances, eight assists, and more Star Man awards than you could shake a Ballon d’Or at.

      GUNNAR APOLOGISE?
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Rio Ferdinand was ‘out of order’ for his criticism of Phil Jones.
      Ferdinand said that Jones should leave the club as he has had too many injuries and is taking up a place in the squad that one of the youth team players could have.
      Solskjaer said: “I think what Rio said was out of order, completely. I know more than anyone how it feels to be injured.
      “Phil has had a horrible 18, 19, 20 months and was troubled for a year before that with injuries.
      “Phil’s still not 30, but since I came here he has battled against that knee injury and put his body on the line in every training session.
      “He has never done anything but give everything for the club and Rio, he should no better than to go out and say this.”

      BREAKING
      Cristiano Ronaldo has told his agent Jorge Mendes that he wants to return to Manchester United.
      The report comes from Fabrizio Romano, who adds that United are preparing a two-year deal for the forward, which will be sent in the “next few hours”.
      Incredibly, he also claims Manchester City have never made CR7 an offer.

      PEP IS COY
      Pep Guardiola did not give a direct answer on whether or not he wants to sign Cristiano Ronaldo but he did not move out a rule wither.
      CR7 looks destined to return to Manchester, with both City and United set to fight for his signature.
      Asked about the possible signing, Guardiola said: “Ronaldo? Another striker?
      “I cannot say much so Harry Kane announces continuing at his club so exceptional club like Tottenham and Cristiano was a Juventus player, I think he is a Juventus player and I cannot add anything else.
      “Only I can say I think there is three or four days left anything can happen but in my personal view there are few players, CR is included and Messi, they decide where they are going to play.
      “They lead in the negotiations and right now that is my feeling I am more delighted with the squad I have and we will say the same.”
      CRISSSSSSSTIANO
      Manchester United fans have turned on Cristiano Ronaldo after reports linking him with rivals Man City emerged.
      The Red Devils icon, 36, is thought to be in talks with City over a controversial move to the Etihad this summer.
      United fans have taken to social media to let Ronaldo know their feelings about the proposed deal.
      One supporter tweeted: “Please no, he’s a United great. How did our owners let this happen? Oh yeah, they only want top four and let City get better than us.”
      While another fan wrote: “I’m burning my Ronaldo shirt if he goes to City.”
      They will be relieved to hear their club is keen to bring CR7 back to Old Trafford then.

      RON HIS WAY BACK?
      Manchester United have been in direct contact with Jorge Mendes since yesterday night for Cristiano Ronaldo comeback, according to Fabrizio Romano.
      United are now said to be “seriously interested” in the forward along with rivals City.
      And the United hierarchy are now seeking to do a deal with Juventus, with a transfer fee to be agreed.
      Personal terms will also need to be confirmed before a potential glorious return to Old Trafford.

      BREAKING
      Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has opened the door for a Cristiano Ronaldo return to Manchester United.
      The Norwegian sang the forward’s praises before hinting at a possible move.
      He also revealed that Ronaldo’s international team-mate, Bruno Fernandes, has been in touch with the Juventus star.
      Solskjaer said: “I didn’t think Cristiano was going to leave Juventus. But if ever he is going to move away from Juventus he knows we are here.
      “We’ve always had a good communication, Bruno has been talking to him as well. He knows how we feel about him.
      “He is a legend of this club, the greatest players of all time if you ask me. So let’s see what happens with him.”

      DIO-GO?
      Manchester United full-back Diogo Dalot is said to be keen on a move to Borussia Dortmund.
      And he has reportedly discussed the potential transfer with Red Devils team-mate Jadon Sancho and compatriot Raphael Guerreiro, according to German broadcaster Sport1.
      Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund have been credited with an interest in the full-back and have opened talks with the Red Devils over a deal.
      AC Milan are also believed to be interested in the Portuguese defender.
      GAAL-LING OMISSION
      Holland manager Louis van Gaal told Donny van de Beek he needs to start playing regular club football before he can think about a return to the international fold during a 45-minute phone call with Manchester United’s forgotten man.
      Van Gaal, back at the helm of the Dutch national team, left Van de Beek out of his squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Norway, Montenegro and Turkey.
      Van Gaal, a former United manager, refused to open up on too many of the finer details of his talk with Van de Beek but was clear that he wants to see the 24-year-old getting more minutes under his belt.
      Van Gaal said in his press conference: “I called Donny van de Beek yesterday, I told him that he needs to start playing games.
      “I did not speak with any manager of my players. Maybe it’s logical to talk with them, but I haven’t done it.
      “I spoke (with Van de Beek) last night for 45 minutes, but I am not going to tell you anything. This is between Donny and me. I am capable of advising players.”

      Initially, his agent held talks with City over a possible move but the Premier League champions ruled themselves out without making an offer.
      Attention then soon shifted to United after their manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – Ronaldo’s former team-mate – opened the door for a transfer.
      And according to Fabrizio Romano, Juve have received an offer from United, who are ready to find an agreement.
      With Ronaldo hoping to resolve his future immediately, he has arrived in Lisbon to complete a medical after he flew via private jet.
      Ronaldo, 36, signed for Juve in 2018 from Real Madrid for £99million but has been linked with a move away all summer.
      He was even rumoured with a return to the Spanish capital, forcing himself and Real boss Carlo Ancelotti to distance themselves from the speculation.

      But it was this week revealed Ronaldo informed his agent Jorge Mendes to facilitate a move away from Juve.
      He missed their season opener against Udinese, which ended 2-2, and manager Max Allegri confirmed the forward wanted out.
      Allegri said: “Yesterday Cristiano told me that he has no intention of continuing at Juventus.
      “This is why he will not be called up tomorrow, he did not train yesterday and now we can talk about [the] Empoli [game]. That is most important.”
      Ronaldo then boarded a private jet with Mendes after saying goodbye to his team-mates.
      But news then broke that City – after a striker after failing to land Tottenham’s Harry Kane – pulled out of the race to sign the Portugal captain.

      United then made a move and Solskjaer, who spent four years playing with Ronaldo, revealed Bruno Fernandes had already been in touch with his international team-mate.
      He said: I didn’t think Cristiano was going to leave Juventus. But if ever he is going to move away from Juventus he knows we are here.
      “We’ve always had a good communication, Bruno has been talking to him as well. He knows how we feel about him.
      “He is a legend of this club, the greatest players of all time if you ask me. So let’s see what happens with him.”
      Juve are said to be looking for around £25m for the attacker, who has one-year left on his contract which sees him earn close to £540,000-a-week.
      The latest news is that United have offered Ronaldo a deal until 2023, with paperworks to be gone over soon now Juve had had an offer sent.

      Man Utd in talks with Dortmund over loan transfer for Diogo Dalot despite him being their ONLY backup for Wan-Bissaka

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are in talks with Borussia Dortmund over allowing defender Diogo Dalot to leave on loan.The 22-year-old right-back signed from Porto for £19million three years ago, but has only featured 35 times in that period.
      Diogo Dalot could be set to play his football in Germany this seasonCredit: Rex
      And according to Sky Sports, the Red Devils are open to Dalot leaving, intially on temporary basis, before the window shuts on August 31.
      This is despite the Portuguese international being the only obvious back-up to established right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka at Old Trafford.
      That is because youngsters Brandon Williams and Axel Tuanzebe have already been farmed out on loan to Norwich and Aston Villa.
      Dalot spent last season on loan with AC Milan but returned to the club at the end of the campaign.
      And he seemed to be working his way into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s thoughts with some impressive pre-season displays.
      He was then on the bench for Man Utd’s draw with Southampton on Sunday.
      But it now looks as though he will be going back out on loan as his Man Utd career continues to stall.
      Dortmund are thought to want a deal to be a loan with the option to buy next summer.

      AC Milan and Bayern Munich have also shown interest in Dalot.
      United have been linked with Atletico Madrid defender Kieran Trippier this summer, who could fill the hole left by Dalot.
      But the England man will not come cheap with Atleti insisting on a £34m fee.

      Meanwhile, United do not look set to add any new names to their squad before the end of the window.
      Solskjaer has already welcomed ex-Dortmund man Jadon Sancho to the club for £73m.
      And World Cup-winning centre-back Raphael Varane was unveiled before their first game of the Premier League season against Leeds as he signed from Real Madrid for £42m.

      Cavani’s contract expires in June, by which time he will be 35, so a centre forward is a priority for summer 2022.
      Harry Kane has been linked previously but is staying put at Tottenham for now and would prefer to join Manchester City.
      Kylian Mbappe will likely be a Real Madrid player by then – either signing this week or arranging a free transfer for next year.

      And United look on course to go after Borussia Dortmund ace Haaland.
      The 21-year-old has already established himself as one of the very best strikers in world football.
      The fact that his £64million release clause kicks in next summer makes him an even more appealing target.
      Reports this week stated United may well be at the front of the queue to secure a cut-price deal – especially because the ex-Molde man ‘dreams’ of playing in the Premier League.
      Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be hoping his personal ties with his compatriot can also ensure United win the race for his signature – despite being turned down in late 2019 when Haaland joined Dortmund.
      However, any attempt to sign Haaland would mean having to deal with his controversial agent Mino Raiola.
      It is thought he would demand a £34m fee for himself as well as whopping £825,000-a-week wages for his client.
      Haaland looks on course to remain with the Bundesliga side for the 2021-22 season, which he has started with five goals in five games after 41 in 41 last term.
      Dortmund boss Marco Rose is confident his main man is going nowhere at the end of the window which saw Jadon Sancho swap Dortmund for Old Trafford.
      He told Bild: “He still has a long-term contract with us [until 2024].

      “Just because the public is constantly talking about him leaving next summer, that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. 
      “In the end, Erling has to decide for himself where he sees his future.
      “In any case, we are happy that he is currently playing for us – and, who knows, possibly it’ll be even more than just one season if we write an extraordinary story here.”

      United have had a strong window following last season’s second-place finish in the Premier League.
      Experienced goalkeeper Tom Heaton was first snapped up on a free transfer from Aston Villa.
      And United finally landed long-term target Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for £76million.
      The Red Devils then stunned football fans by pulling off an incredible £36m coup for Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane.
      However, United continue to be linked with a host of players as the window nears its end.
      Midfield has been a cause for concern in the opening games of the new season, with the likes of Fred and Nemanja Matic failing to impress.

      One name strongly tipped for an Old Trafford move is Atletico Madrid star Saul Niguez, who is also a target for Chelsea.
      But Solskjaer has appeared to rule out a move for the Spaniard, and anyone else for that matter.
      However, the Norwegian has left the door slightly ajar if the right player becomes available.

      Solskjaer told Arilas Ould-Saada: “I don’t think much is going to happen. If something happens, it’s a bonus.
      “You never know what happens in the world of football.
      “But we’ve had a very good window. I’m happy with what we’ve done.”

      Cristiano Ronaldo ‘wants stunning transfer to Man City’ as Man Utd icon eyes Juventus exit with Harry Kane move stalling

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO is looking to ‘engineer’ a stunning move to Manchester City, reports in France have claimed. According to L’equipe, the former Manchester United forward has had his representatives contact Premier League champions City.

      It comes amid speculation Ronaldo has asked to leave Juventus after three years in Italy.
      He was left out of their Serie A opener against Udinese over the weekend, which ended 2-2.
      Although the five-time Ballon d’Or winner did come on to score an injury-time winner – only for it to be disallowed by VAR.
      Juve vice president Pavel Nedved attempted to play down the exclusion after the game.
      Nedved said: “We are not going to try to create sensationalist stories when there are none.
      “It was a decision we shared with the player. At the beginning of the season, he is naturally not at top form.”
      Reports also linked Ronaldo with a move back to Real Madrid, from whom he joined Juve in a £99million deal.

      But bizarrely, Bernabeu boss Carlo Ancelotti personally tweeted to distance himself with signing the forward, who he managed from 2013-2015.
      Ancelotti posted: “Cristiano is a Real Madrid legend and he has all my love and respect. I have never considered signing him. We look forward.”
      Ronaldo, 36, also looked to ease some of the speculation about his future on social media and appeared to commit himself to Juve.
      He wrote: “As well as this most recent episode in Spain, there have been frequent news and stories associating me with a number of clubs in many different Leagues, with nobody ever being concerned about trying to find out the actual truth.
      “I’m breaking my silence now to say that I can’t allow people to keep playing around with my name.
      “I remain focused on my career and in my work, committed and prepared for all the challenges that I have to face. Everything else?
      “Everything else is just talk.”
      Ronaldo’s full statement on his future Anyone who knows me is aware of how focused I am on my work. Less talk and more action, this has been my guiding motto since the start of my career.
      However, in view of everything that’s been said and written recently, I have to set out my position
      More than the disrespect for me as a man and as a player, the frivolous way that my future is covered in the media is disrespectful to all the clubs involved in these rumours, as well as to their players and staff.
      My story at Real Madrid has been written. It’s been recorded. In words and numbers, in trophies and titles, in records and in headlines. It’s in the Museum at the Bernabeu Stadium and it’s also in the minds of every fan of the club.
      And beyond what I achieved, I remember that in those nine years I had a relationship of deep affection and respect for “merengue afición”, an affection and respect that I retain to this day, and that I will always cherish.
      I know that the true Real Madrid fans will continue to have me in their hearts, and I will have them in mine.
      As well as this most recent episode in Spain, there have been frequent news and stories associating me with a number of clubs in many different Leagues, with nobody ever being concerned about trying to find out the actual truth.
      I’m breaking my silence now to say that I can’t allow people to keep playing around with my name.
      I remain focused on my career and in my work, committed and prepared for all the challenges that I have to face.
      Everything else? Everything else is just talk.

      Despite the statement, still Ronaldo has been linked with a move away from Italy, and City are the latest side rumoured to be a potential suitor.
      The English champions have spent the summer trying to sign England captain Harry Kane, 28, from Tottenham.
      But Spurs appear unwilling to let their star man leave for anything less the £160m, despite the striker believing he had a ‘gentleman’s agreement’ with chief Daniel Levy that he could go.
      Reports now claim Ronaldo wants to capitalise on the situation and offer himself as a potential solution for City’s problems.
      That is despite the six years he spent at Old Trafford having signed as an 18-year-old in 2003.
      The report claims Ronaldo has even spoken to international team-mates about Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias and Joao Cancelo about joining them at City.
      City are not believed to be interested in a deal, even though the Portuguese superstar could come relatively cheaply, having only a year left on his Juve deal.
      Kane is said to still want a move to the Etihad, but did make his return to Spurs’ squad in their 1-0 win over Wolves on the weekend.
