Cristiano Ronaldo running out of Man Utd exit options after latest public rejection

Premier League

Cristiano Ronaldo's hopes of sealing a move away from Manchester United in the New Year have been dealt a huge blow after Napoli director Cristiano Giuntoli said the club have no interest in the player.

Premier League

Ralf Rangnick says Manchester United rejected all six of his transfer recommendations including Luis Diaz, Alvaro Morata and Christopher Nkunku.
