Cristiano Ronaldo is NOT a target for Bayern Munich, insists sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic - despite Man United star's agent Jorge Mendes enquiring about a move should Robert Lewandowski leave for Barcelona

Bayern Munich say they are not pursuing a move for Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo amid reports he had been offered to the Bundesliga champions.

The star forward returned to Old Trafford last summer, 13 years after leaving for Real Madrid for a then-world record fee, but it did not prove to be the glorious homecoming he had hoped.

Ronaldo scored 24 goals in 38 games in all competitions but the team struggled to a sixth-placed Premier League finish amid criticisms of his impact on their pressing abilities and general cohesion.
