Several of Europe’s biggest clubs have been linked with Ronaldo over the summer, including Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. Agbonlahor believes the five-time Ballon d’Or winner would not hesitate to join one of United’s rivals if the opportunity presented itself in the near future, with the former Aston Villa striker suggesting he would even like to sign for Liverpool despite his legendary position at Old Trafford. “Cristiano Ronaldo would come to Liverpool this summer if he could,” Agbonlahor told talkSPORT. “They are big rivals to Manchester United, but it’s about Ronaldo. “He will go anywhere he can still play Champions League football, add to his record and win titles. I don’t think Ronaldo has any faith in United, Real Madrid or Juventus.” JUST IN: Red Bull Salzburg demand £1bn cash and two assets for Benjamin Cesko Ronaldo missed United’s pre-season tour of Australia due to personal reasons but returned to the training complex in Carrington on Monday for crucial talks with Ten Haag and the club’s hierarchy. He appears to have remained steadfast in his desire to seek a new challenge in the coming weeks and has reportedly asked United to tear up his contract, which is due to expire next summer as things stand. However, the Red Devils are adamant he will not be allowed to leave and have even considered extending his current contract by another year, which would see Ronaldo sent out on loan. Ten Hag has repeatedly insisted he plans to use the Portuguese forward during the new campaign, despite continued uncertainty over his immediate future. DON’T MISS OUT “We’re planning for Cristiano Ronaldo this season and that’s it, I’m looking forward to working with him,” the United boss told reporters earlier this month. “I have read [rumours], but what I am saying is that Cristiano is not for sale, he is in our plans and we want success together. I spoke to him before this matter came up, had a conversation with him and had a good chat. This is between Cristiano and me, what I can confirm is that we had a very good conversation together.” You want the latest Premier League news as we publish it Express Sport?
