Cristiano Ronaldo has told Real Madrid he wants to leave the club

He currently earns £365,000 a week, which United would be willing to match. But Ronaldo will not make any huge demands in case it complicates the deal.

Paris Saint-Germain are prepared to offer £122million for the 32-year-old but the player has instructed his agent to get the United deal done.

Ronaldo, currently in Russia for the Confederations Cup, wants to end his eight-year stay at the Bernabeu after allegations of a £13m tax fraud.

He feels Real have not supported him in fighting the charge — and his decision is said to be irreversible. Super-agent Jorge Mendes will now be key to what happens next.
