Cristiano Ronaldo 'set to trade places with Mauricio Pochettino'

Cristiano Ronaldo's second coming at Manchester United is not going to plan for either party and there are suggestions the Portuguese star already wants to leave the club for one last move to a big European club.

Paris Saint-Germain is one of very few destinations for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner and next summer he could be trading places with Mauricio Pochettino, who the Red Devils want to take over as coach when interim boss Ralf Rangnick leaves the role.

The speculation has intensified after United's exit from the FA Cup on penalties to Championship side Middlesbrough - meaning Ronaldo is likely to finish the season without any silverware. 

PSG are long time admirers of the Portuguese international and don't seem to deterred by him turning 37.

Ronaldo has told his super agent Jorge Mendes that he is ready to cut short his £20 million move back to the Premier League, according to the Mirror.

The French giants have tried to sign the former Real Madrid star in the past, but have been unsuccessful, but will be hoping the latest news can them capture Ronaldo to play alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar in their quest to win the Champions League.

Kylian Mbappe is expected to leave the French side for Real Madrid at the end of the season, leaving a space in their attack open, and the five-time Balloon d'Or winner being the big name target lined up.
