Cristiano Ronaldo 'tempted by return to Manchester United'

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly 'tempted' by the idea of returning to Manchester United during this summer's transfer window.

The 36-year-old enjoyed another impressive scoring season for his Italian club in 2020-21, finding the back of the net on 36 occasions in 44 appearances in all competitions.

The Portugal international has a contract in Turin until next June, but various reports have claimed that he could seek pastures new in the upcoming market.

Paris Saint-Germain continue to be credited with an interest in the forward, but Man United are also said to be exploring the possibility of re-signing the attacker this summer.

According to Tuttosport, Juve are looking to the future without Ronaldo, who is 'tempted' by a return to Old Trafford ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

The Portuguese represented Man United between 2003 and 2009, scoring 118 goals in 292 appearances for the English club ahead of a move to Real Madrid.

The Old Lady are thought to be exploring the possibility of a swap deal for Ronaldo involving Paul Pogba, who could be sold by the Red Devils this summer if he does not sign a new contract.
