Man Utd transfer news: Jose Mourinho makes final Cristiano Ronaldo decision
MANCHESTER UNITED will not make a move for Real Madrid talisman Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
Ronaldo transfer to Juventus 'not needed' says Craig Burley
The Portugal international has been heavily linked with a move away from La Liga in recent weeks.
United and Juventus were tipped to move for the 33-year-old this summer, with reports today claiming the Italian giants have tabled an £88m bid for the forward.
And according to The Metro, United will not attempt to re-sign Ronaldo.
They claim Mourinho is refusing to use up his transfer budget on the Real superstar, who is keen to leave the Bernabeu this summer.
The Metro add that the Red Devils have failed to re-sign Ronaldo twice following his move to La Liga in 2009.

United feel Alexis Sanchez, who struggled to impress at Old Trafford following his January move from Arsenal, will shine this season.
They reckon a tournament-free summer will let Sanchez, who earns around £500,000-a-week at United, regain his form during his time with the Gunners.
The Metro add that United boss Mourinho has around £90m remaining of his summer transfer budget.
The Red Devils have already signed central midfielder Fred, goalkeeper Lee Grant and right-back Diogo Dalot as Mourinho looks to catch Manchester City this season.
