Manchester United coach Jose Mourinho is desperate to bring Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford, Don Balon reports.

The 33-year-old quit United in 2009 in an £80m deal after six remarkable seasons with the Red Devils.

With Mourinho desperate to spend big to keep up with Manchester City in the Premier League, the Portugal international has been tipped to return to The Theatre of Dreams in recent months.

According to Spanish news outlet Don Balon, United are willing to cough out £132m (€150m) to land the five-time Ballon d'Or winner at the end of the season.

Following Real's rumoured summer shake-up, Don Balon claimed Mourinho has turned his attention away from Gareth Bale, and he is now focused on bringing Ronaldo back to the Premier League.

Ronaldo, who earns around £365,000-a-week at Real, is currently under contract until 2021 as United feel three Champions League medals and possibly a fourth one this term, could prompt his exit from the Bernabeu.

The ex-United star has been in fine form in 2018 netting 34 goals with seven assists in all competitions this season under Zinedine Zidane.

Ronaldo and Real are back when Zidane’s men travel to Las Palmas in La Liga but could be rested ahead their Champions League clash with Juventus.

A win for the league defending champions could send them within one point of city rivals Atletico Madrid in the race to finish second behind runaway leaders Barcelona.
