Sporting Lisbon still 'dream' of reuniting with Manchester United wantaway Cristiano Ronaldo but simply cannot afford the demands of his salary, claims manager Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese forward made clear his desire to leave Old Trafford this summer and has since been pursuing an exit, falling down Erik ten Hag's pecking order at Manchester United as a result.
Ronaldo, who stormed off the bench and down the tunnel early during United's 2-0 win against Tottenham last week, has since been heavily linked with a move to Chelsea in January.
