Ronaldo has many transfer options says ESPN's Marcotti
Real Madrid star Ronaldo is being heavily linked with a Manchester United return following comments made after the Champions League final.
The 33-year-old helped Los Blancos shoot down Liverpool last Saturday but put the footballing world on alert by saying: “In the next few days I will give an answer to the fans that have always been on my side.
"It was very nice to be at Real Madrid, in the coming days I will talk about it more."
And Spanish website Don Balon say Ronaldo has asked agent Mendes to broker a return to his old club.
The Real Madrid star may now follow through on his threat to quit following Zinedine Zidane’s departure.

This was reiterated by former Real boss Fabio Capello, who boldly said today: “Cristiano Ronaldo’s future with Real Madrid? Cristiano wants to return to Manchester United alongside Jose Mourinho.

Ronaldo left out of Madrid kit launch amid transfer rumours
“I think he will eventually leave Madrid to go back to England. When? This I don’t know.”
Ronaldo may return to United if the Red Devils put one of two players in any potential bid.
Paul Pogba and David De Gea are supposedly the players in question.
Mourinho has clashed repeatedly with Pogba over the past few months and, with the club nearing a deal for Fred and chasing Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, a move away could beckon.
The 55-year-old is, however, unlikely to give up De Gea - who was voted the club’s player of the year for the third time in four years last month.
