Manchester United transfer news: Red Devils willing to meet Cristiano Ronaldo

Furthermore, the Mirror claim that Man United are even prepared to meet the forward’s £15m-a-year wage demands.

Manchester United have been given fresh hope of signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona want Theo Walcott, while Chelsea are chasing Dani Carvajal.

PSG have already been linked with a bid in excess of £100million and have been desperate to sign up Ronaldo for the past few summers.

Indeed, the Catalan club’s lawyers may have found a way to turn a real negative – the torn anterior cruciate ligament of Brazilian midfielder Rafinha – into a quasi-positive.

Cristiano Ronaldo said, “Artists for Peace and Justice is a special group”.

Ronaldo, 30, spent six years at Old Trafford being a major success under Sir Alex Ferguson. Fernandez added that Neymar and Brazilian teammate Rafinha are “very important players who will be at Barcelona for many years”.

If United were to lure Ronaldo back they’d be getting a completely different type of player to the one who left the club. “Neither was it at the insistence of his agent Jorge Mendes”. And Shahktar had a player sent off and two dubious penalties given against them, but the general feeling is that Benitez could not have asked for better rivals to allow his side to grow in confidence for the tougher challenges that lie ahead.

Might David De Gea remain at Old Trafford?

United and PSG are on the move to go head-to-head for Ronaldo after reports that the double Ballon d’Or victor is set to leave Real next summer to seek new challenge in his career.

“He’s got the confidence to deal with that”.

The BBC adds that Mendes “attended” the club’s training complex on Thursday and talks are believed to be underway.

The benefits of this transfer for United would be obvious.

“But the financial situation is there for United to get him“.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is thinking about sending 20-year-old Belgium striker Divock Origi out on loan in the January transfer window. “He’s loving it there”.

Gareth Bale will be required to rest for two weeks after sustaining an injury to his calf in Real Madrid’s 4-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday night, reported Inside Spanish Football. It remains to be seen how much truth there is behind that claim but obviously it would come as a huge blow to United if true.

“It is quite clear there is a strategy in place, both by Real and from Ronaldo, to push the situation to a limit next summer”.
