Manchester United 'discussed selling Cristiano Ronaldo in January because former interim manager Ralf Rangnick wanted to reshape their attack'

The Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United renaissance could've come to an abrupt halt as far back as the turn of the year, if those within the latter had their wish.

On Saturday it was detailed that Ronaldo has told the Red Devils that he wishes to leave this summer should they receive a suitable offer amid his concerns that the club is not moving forward quickly enough.

As Sportsmail further explained, the 37-year-old 'still has an affinity for the club' but at this stage of his career wants to be playing in the Champions League and does not see that happening at United.
