Transfer: Top clubs take decision on signing Ronaldo in January

Manchester United are confident Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave the club in January, because of a lack of interest in him, ESPN reports.

United are bracing themselves for Ronaldo to mount another push to leave Old Trafford if he cannot win a regular place in Erik ten Hag’s team.

Despite the 37-year-old’s desire to move in the summer, the Red Devils only received one firm offer from a club in Saudi Arabia.

Speculation in the summer linked Ronaldo with Champions League sides including Chelsea, Napoli and Bayern Munich, but United never received a proposal from any club in Europe.

There’s even a chance Chelsea’s stance may have changed after Graham Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel as manager.

However, the Blues eased their problems upfront after bringing in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang late in the window.

Ronaldo has endured a difficult start to the season, scoring one goal – a penalty in the Europa League against Sheriff.

Ten Hag recently revealed how the No. 7 is “pissed off” with his lack of game time.
