MANCHESTER UNITED are trying to manufacture a stunning move to bring Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, according to reports.
Speculation continues to increase that the unhappy Portuguese superstar is looking for a way out of Real Madrid at the end of the season.
Ronaldo’s form has taken a dramatic dip this campaign scoring just four times in 14 La Liga appearances.
And his contract situation continues to rumble on after Ronaldo was furious that promises were broken over a new deal by president Florentino Perez.
Ronaldo was told that he would get a pay rise to bring him level with Barcelona rival Lionel Messi after he helping the club to retain the Champions League last season but it has failed to materialise.
According to AS, the Red Devils are ready to take advantage at the end of the season and “activate a return plan” which includes making Real Madrid an offer they can’t refuse.

The report states that Ronaldo’s first option is to return to Manchester where he enjoyed six successful years.
But he will come at a cost.
Luring Ronaldo to Old Trafford will set United back around £352million with half going to Real Madrid and the other half to the 32-year-old.
Madrid are thought to be keen on cashing in and using the money to land a replacement – with Neymar’s return to Spain being mooted.
