Manchester United are in advanced talks to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo after Manchester City pulled out of a potential deal.

City were offered the chance to sign Ronaldo and considered making a move as they were believed to be the player's first choice.
However, while recognising his qualities as a player, there was not a great deal of enthusiasm among the City board as Ronaldo is not the profile they would normally go for.

The 36-year-old's departure from Juventus was confirmed by boss Max Allegri on Friday, as he told a press conference he was told by the player he had "no intention" of playing for the club again.
"Yesterday, speaking with Cristiano, he told me that he has no intention to stay at Juventus and for this reason, he will not be called up tomorrow [against Empoli] and he didn't train this morning," Allegri said.
