But just like PSG’s capture of Lionel Messi, a move for Ronaldo would have bring huge commercial benefits, which would no doubt be right up Woodward’s street as he prepares to step down at the end of the year.
Ronaldo could be tempted by the challenge of turning his former club back into a genuine force both domestically and in Europe – and his arrival would provide a serious test to the title credentials of rivals City and Chelsea.
That could in turn make Old Trafford a more attractive destination for the likes of Erling Haaland when his release clause comes into play next summer, offering Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and football director John Murtough the chance to bring in a top-class replacement for the long term.
A statement signing like Ronaldo could also help persuade Paul Pogba to sign a new deal – and in the France star’s current for that would further bolster United’s ambitions of returning to the top of world football.
