Despite hitting 24 goals across all competitions last season, Ronaldo was unable to drag United to a top-four finish.

The Red Devils had to settle for a sixth and the Europa League instead.

And according to The Athletic, Ronaldo's future at United - as well as a potential move to Chelsea - was discussed when Boehly met agent Mendes in Portugal last week.

The 37-year-old Portugal international has 12 months remaining on the two-year deal he signed when rejoining Man Utd last summer.
