Manchester United are reportedly in talks with Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo over a return to Old Trafford.
The Portugal captain is yet to sign a new contract at the Bernabeu, prompting suggestions that he could leave the club this summer.
United approached the Spanish giants when they discovered that Madrid have stepped up their pursuit of Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale, according to the Daily Star.
It has been claimed that Ronaldo is open to a return to the Premier League, despite Madrid president Florentino Perez publicly stating that the former Ballon d'Or winner will finish his career at the Bernabeu.
It has been said that the discussions with Ronaldo, who has two years remaining on his contract, have been held over the last 12 days regarding an £80m package.
