BREAKING: Despite claims that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to go, Man Utd insists he is not for sale

The 37-year-old scored 24 goals in all competitions last season after returning to Old Trafford.

Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly asked Manchester United to leave if an appropriate offer came through, but Manchester United is emphatic he is not for sale.

Last summer, the 37-year-old unexpectedly returned to Old Trafford, arriving from Juventus for a fee that eventually reached 23 million euros (£19.6m).

Although Ronaldo won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award and scored 24 goals across all competitions, his first season back at United ended without a title and in sixth place in the Premier League despite his exceptional individual performance.

After spending his whole playing career at Europe's top table, the veteran is not excited about the thought of playing in the Europa League rather than the Champions League.

For Manchester United last season, Cr7 scored 24 goals.

According to reports, Ronaldo has requested permission to go if a good deal comes in, but a senior United source told the PA news agency that the forward is not up for sale.

The situation remained the same last weekend when it was revealed that agent Jorge Mendes had spoken with new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly about his client.

The contract that Ronaldo signed last summer has one year left on it, and the new manager of United, Erik ten Hag, has voiced his excitement about working with the record-breaking Portugal international.

Prior to departing for Thailand on Friday to begin their pre-season tour, United's foreign players are scheduled to report for training in the upcoming days.
