Cristiano Ronaldo is on the verge of a sensational move from Juventus to Manchester United after a stunning twist in his proposed move to rivals Manchester City.

Former United winger Ronaldo had spoken to Pep Guardiola about his role at Man City, and it is understood the Portugal captain would have been paid over £250,000 a week at the Etihad but it is understood they have now backed away from any deal.

Juventus manager Max Allegri revealed today that the 36-year-old has “no intention” of staying at the Serie A club with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer going public with his desire for him to return to Old Trafford, where he spent six hugely-successful years.

You can follow all the latest transfer news, rumours and gossip as Premier League clubs make moves to strengthen ahead of transfer deadline day.
