"Told by sources at United" - talkSPORT reporter drops major Cristiano Ronaldo future update

Manchester United fans’ favourite Cristiano Ronaldo is ‘frustrated’ at the Red Devils’ lack of transfer activity but is expected to remain at Old Trafford, according to talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook.

Erik ten Hag has taken over as the Premier League giants’ new boss but is still waiting to complete the first signing of his reign, leading to question marks over Ronaldo’s future.

According to The Athletic, new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has held conversations with Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes.

The report suggests the £27million-rated striker was discussed as the Blues looked to sound out whether a move to Stamford Bridge could be on the cards, while Ronaldo is frustrated with a failure to welcome fresh faces to Manchester United during the transfer window.

A switch back to his homeland has also been mooted, with Sporting interested in striking a deal which would see Ronaldo return to his boyhood club.

Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is keen to be reunited with the 37-year-old at Roma as well, having previously worked with him at Real Madrid.

Ronaldo has 12 months remaining on his £480,000-per-week contract at Old Trafford, meaning there are doubts over his long-term future.

Crook understands Ronaldo is set to remain at Manchester United despite links to Chelsea, Sporting and Roma.
