Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly turned down a potential move to Inter Miami in favour of remaining with Manchester United, where he could become the team's new captain.
David Beckham's club had explored the chances of luring his old friend to the US in a bid to boost the team's performance and brand, according to The Daily Star.
However, it looks to be a non starter with United informing them that he is not for sale.
The Old Trafford side have no desire to sell the 37-year-old despite the fact he is understood to be frustrated at their lack of progress and his agent Jorge Mendes meeting clubs such as Chelsea and Bayern Munich over the past week to test the demand in the market.
