Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has ruled out Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford, according to
reports.
The Portuguese boss has told that bringing
Ronaldo back from Real Madrid is nearly impossible.
The reports have linked Ronaldo with a move back
to Premier League, Manchester City and Manchester United both have been keeping
tabs on him earlier this summer when the reports strongly claimed that Ronaldo
is looking for a new club due to tax issues.
Manchester
City have also been interested in his move, however the odds were quite low, according to sport betting. They were also reportedly looking to go for Lionel
Messi from Barcelona but the Argentine was in no mood to leave the club,
he also agreed recently to sign a new deal.
Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world record fee
around £80million in 2009 from Manchester United.
The Real Madrid star recently claimed that he is
happy at Santiago Bernabeu and has no plans to leave this summer.
Mourinho
replied when asked about Ronaldo’s return to Man United that it is economic
difficulty. The four times Ballon d’Or winner would cost an exceptional
transfer fee and it would not be feasible for a club to spend that much cash.
Mourinho
was asked after yesterday’s game against LA Galaxy
regarding the Portugal captain. The boss replied that he will not going to
waste time on players who are mission impossible.
The
32-year-old is still on top of his form, there is no reason for him to leave
Real Madrid this summer. He is looking to win third Champions League title in a
row in the coming season.
Ronaldo
has scored 406 goals in 394 appearances for Real Madrid since his move. He has
won two La Liga and three Champions League trophies.
Meanwhile,
Alvaro Morata who has also linked with a move to Manchester United is likely to
stay at the Spanish side, as per Mourinho. The boss has denied his move also.
With
the recent signing of Romelu Lukaku from Everton for £75million, it is unlikely
that United will continue targeting Morata for the summer move.
