Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo could be on the move in January, according to reports.
The Portuguese superstar has struggled to tie down a regular starting berth in Erik ten Hag's side this season, often starting from the bench. Having told the club he wished to leave during the summer transfer window due to their failure to qualify for this season's Champions League, Ronaldo's struggles have only added further fuel to speculation that he could look to depart.
And now, reports coming out of Turkey suggest Galatasaray could offer him the chance to secure his United exit. Fotomac [via The Sun] claim the Turkish giants will go 'all out' to sign Ronaldo in January, with club chief Erden Timur reportedly already in 'constant communication' with Ronaldo's representatives. A move could see Ronaldo reunite with former United teammate Juan Mata.

Elsewhere, The Mirror report that former United target Adrien Rabiot could be set to secure a new contract at Juventus.
United attempted to sign the French midfielder in the summer, entering contract negotiations with Rabiot's mother to try and secure the signing. The Reds ultimately failed in their attempts to bring him to Old Trafford, meaning Rabiot remained at Juve with just one year left on his contract.
United might have been expected to go back in for the Frenchman next year should he become available, although it now appears he could remain with the Italian giants. It is claimed that Rabiot's fine form this season, enhanced by his stunning goal against Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday night, could lead to him landing a new deal.
