Manchester United will play in the Europa League and the Portuguese seems to be disliking the idea of playing the Europe's second-tier competition. His agent Jorge Mendes is already working to find a 'new club' for Ronaldo but it seems the options look limited. There are talks of Sporting Lisbon, Ronaldo's first club, but they have distanced themselves from the rumours. Atletico Madrid too were in the mix but the fans might not take that well taking into context the Portuguese played for their La Liga rivals, Real Madrid.
The superstar forward was also active on social media to add more speculation about his future wherein he replied to an Instagram fan account, stating as 'lies'.
He wrote, "Impossible not to talk about me one day. Otherwise the press makes no money. You know that if you don’t lie you can’t get people’s attention. Keep going that one day you get some news right." The text was followed by a crying face emoji and a laughing emoji.
