Manchester United reportedly submit an official offer to Juventus for Cristiano Ronaldo as their quest to bring the 36-year-old back to Old Trafford gathers pace.

Manchester United have reportedly submitted an official offer to Juventus for wantaway forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

News broke earlier on Friday that the Red Devils had hijacked Manchester City's move for the 36-year-old, leapfrogging their local rivals in the race for his signature as City ended their interest.

Talks between Man United and Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes only began on Thursday evening, while a series of messages from the Portuguese forward's former Old Trafford teammates helped to sway him towards a move back to the red half of Manchester.

With the five-time Ballon d'Or winner now pushing for a return, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Man United have submitted a formal offer of €25m (£21.4m) plus add-ons to Juventus, who are understood to be holding out for a fee of around £25m.

A contract proposal has also been sent to Mendes, with Man United offering Ronaldo a two-year deal until June 2023.

The Red Devils are eager to wrap negotiations up quickly, with Ronaldo set to join Jadon Sancho and his former Real Madrid teammate Raphael Varane in making the move to Old Trafford this summer.

Ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 appearances during his first stint at Man United, and since leaving has netted 551 times in just 572 club appearances. body check tags ::
