Keeping Cristiano Ronaldo remains Manchester United’s priority, say reports, despite rumoured interest in free agent Paulo Dybala.
The Portuguese superstar wants to play Champions League football next season and has asked to be sold if a suitable offer arrives.
The likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Porto and Sporting CP have all been linked with the 37-year-old since his stunning request.
That led to reports that United were considering making a move for Dybala, who is a free agent after leaving Juventus at the end of his contract.
However, the Manchester Evening News reports that sources at Old Trafford insist there has been no contact with Dybala’s representatives.
The Manchester club are instead focused on convincing Ronaldo to stay put for next season and compete in the Europa League.
United have taken the stance that the Portugal international isn’t for sale, with one more year left to run on his contract and the option beyond that of a one-year extension.
Ronaldo didn’t show up for the first two days of pre-season training due to family reasons, and there are now doubts around whether he will participate in the tour of Thailand and Australia, which starts on Friday.
