"Define suitable" - Wrexham owner McElhenney cracks joke over Ronaldo's Man Utd exit request

Cristiano Ronaldo's request to leave Manchester United has been met with a humourous response from Wrexham owner and actor Rob McElhenney, who has asked what the definition of a "suitable" bid for the star would be.

Portugal forward Ronaldo rejoined the Red Devils last summer from Juventus, but a barren campaign that saw the club miss out on Champions League football has got the 37-year-old looking for a new club, GOAL can confirm.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has requested to be allowed to leave if a fitting offer is tabled - and now McElhenney, who co-owns the Welsh outfit with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds, has jokingly asked just what that would entail.

An exit just one year into his two-year deal at Old Trafford would bring an anticlimactic end to the Portuguese's Red Devils homecoming, one which started with promise and fizzled out amid a miserable season for the club.

A move on might be the best thing for both parties, particularly as Erik ten Hag looks to leave his mark on the club as its new manager - but United are adamant that the forward is not for sale.

What would quantify a "suitable offer" for the Premier League outfit too is up for debate, given they would be losing one of the game's all-time greatest players.

In any case, Wrexham are certainly not serious bidders.
