Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly 'set to receive' another bumper offer from Saudi Arabia to leave Manchester United in January.
Ronaldo's future was a constant talking point during the summer transfer window, after reports emerged that the 37-year-old wanted to leave Old Trafford in pursuit of Champions League football. Pictures of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner driving into Carrington to hold 'crunch talks' with the club and his agent, Jorge Mendes, made headlines across the world.
Erik ten Hag would have been relieved as September 1 saw the transfer window slam shut, so he could at last put the off-field distractions to one side and get to work with his new team. However, news of a fresh mouthwatering offer to swap Manchester for Saudi Arabia has cast further doubts over Ronaldo's future at United.

Saudi FA chief Yasser Al-Misehal, was recently asked whether a concrete offer could arrive for Ronaldo. He told The Athletic : “To be honest, I don't have the answer.
“We would love to see a player like Cristiano Ronaldo playing in the Saudi League. I think, 'Why not?'. I'm sure it would be a very expensive deal, of course, but we can see our clubs getting higher revenues in the past couple of years."
That wish may well come true, after the Sun reported that Ronaldo is set to receive another enormous offer from Saudi Arabia, as they look to tempt him away from United in January. It is believed that both the Saudi champions Al Hilal and rivals Al Nassr are keen on making a move for the forward, as clubs continue to monitor his situation.
