Cristiano Ronaldo could still be on his way out of Manchester United in this transfer window, with reports claiming the five-time Ballon d'or winner is being monitored by two clubs.
There have been many reports coming out of Europe suggesting that Ronaldo would like to leave the Red Devils as soon as possible following a lacklustre 2021/22 campaign.
Despite the Portugal captain's 24 goals in all competitions last season, United failed to qualify for the 2022/23 edition of the UEFA Champions League.
It is largely because of this that Ronaldo is keen to leave Old Trafford, but with the massive wages he commands, not a lot of suitors have come forward with the intention of taking the 37-year-old on board.
According to ESPN, there might be two clubs left in the race for Ronaldo: Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid.
With Robert Lewandowski expected to leave the Bavarian giants, the reigning Bundesliga champions could soon be looking for somebody who will be able to match the Pole's goals output.
In the case of Atletico, they recently released Luis Suarez following the expiration of his contract, which means their striker position is in need of reinforcements.
Chelsea were also said to be in contention to sign international football's all-time leading goalscorer, but manager Thomas Tuchel opted against doing so, according to reports.
New United boss Erik ten Hag has insisted he sees Ronaldo as an important part of his plans for the EPL giants, and hopes the former Real Madrid man will be able to at least see out the duration of his contract at Old Trafford, which concludes in June 2023.
The five-time UCL winner has yet to report for United's pre-season tour, citing family issues, and whether or not he will still be a Red Devil when the 2022/23 season kicks off remains to be seen.
