Manchester United Transfer News: Cristiano Ronaldo Real Madrid Exit Rumours Grow

Cristiano Ronaldo is "ready to leave" Real Madrid after becoming "disillusioned" with life at the club, according to Spanish publication Sport.

This article intensifies reports of the player returning to Manchester United, a story that continues to do the rounds in the press, per the Daily Star (h/t George Bellshaw of the Metro).

Sport's report suggests Carlo Ancelotti's sacking at Madrid has strained the relationship between Ronaldo and club president Florentino Perez.

It is also indicated that Ronaldo "isn't convinced" by Rafa Benitez—who is expected to take over Los Blancos' managerial position—and has become upset by Perez's unwavering support of the misfiring Gareth Bale.
