Manchester United are still hopeful of resigning Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, according to The Daily Mirror.
Louis van Gaal has made no secret behind his desire to land a marquee player to transform his United side into genuine title contenders and rumours have refused to go away linking Ronaldo back to Old Trafford.
The three-time World Player of the Year left United in 2009 and it has been suggested that it would require a fee in excess of £70m to resign the forward, who turns 31 in February.
United would have to fend off interest from Paris Saint-Germain, who have been long-term admirers of Ronaldo.
Since joining Madrid, only Lionel Messi (235) has scored more goals than Ronaldo (230) in Europe’s top five leagues.
