Revealed: The real reason Manchester United did not sign Cristiano Ronaldo this summer

Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid this summer to make a stunning £88 million move to Juventus. Having failed to get his desired wage at Real Madrid, the Portugal captain decided to move to Juventus who had agreed to pay him as much as Lionel Messi earns at Barcelona.

However, before completing the move, the former Manchester United star was reportedly keen to return to Old Trafford this summer.

Reports claim that the Red Devils were offered the chance to sign him, but Jose Mourinho vetoed the move in fear that he would be left short of funds to strengthen other parts of his team.

Ronaldo is a fan favourite at Old Trafford and his return would have boosted the mood around the club as well as improve their commercial value.

Ronaldo would nevertheless return to Old Trafford at some point this season as Juventus have been drawn with Manchester United in the same Champions League group.
