Cristiano Ronaldo Reportedly Not Wanted by Jose Mourinho at Manchester United

Gianni VerschuerenJun 20, 2017

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has opted against a reunion with Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.ย 

That's according to Carlos Carpioย of the Madrid-based daily Marca, which reported the Portuguese tactician will instead target Alvaro Morata.ย 

According to the report, Mourinho has a number of reservations regarding a deal for Ronaldo, including his ageโ€•he's 32โ€•the proposed transfer fee ofย โ‚ฌ200 million and the fact the two did not get along by the time the Special One left Madrid.

Transfer speculation surrounding the Ballon d'Or holder has mounted since tax fraud allegations came to light earlier this month. Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol explained the situation:

A transfer doesn't seem likely, however, as the forward is a crucial player for Los Blancos, and his contract situation makes him close to untouchable. President Florentino Perez toldย Onda Cero (h/t theย Mirror'sย Joe Mewis) his buyout clause sits atย ยฃ1 billion.

Ronaldo exit rumours have become a yearly occurrence in the summer, and these accusations mean a move is perhaps more likely, but fans of Real Madrid can still rest easy.
