'I'm going to ask him' - UFC superstar Khabib to quiz Ronaldo on Man Utd future amid transfer rumours

Cristiano Ronaldo has been urged to stay at Manchester United beyond the 2021-22 season by UFC superstar Khabib Nurmagomedov amid rumours linking the striker with a summer transfer.

United pulled off one of the biggest coups of the 2021 summer transfer window by re-signing Ronaldo from Juventus for £20 million ($27m).

The 37-year-old has since scored 14 goals in 27 appearances across all competitions, but has so far been unable to help the Red Devils re-emerge as trophy contenders and his attitude has been called into question.

Ronaldo has made a habit of storming down the tunnel after draws and defeats as the Red Devils have struggled for consistency this season, leading to reports that he is unhappy at Old Trafford.

It has been suggested that he could look to push for a move in the summer, but Khabib remains hopeful he will decide to see out his two-year contract.

The former UFC fighter, who is the longest-reigning lightweight champion in history, enjoys a close friendship with Ronaldo away from the pitch and has vowed to quiz him on his future.
