Cristiano Ronaldo has told Manchester United he wants to be freed from the final year of his £360,000-a-week contract after talks with the club failed to change his mind over wanting out of Old Trafford... even though they've had ZERO enquiries

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United on Tuesday with his agent Jorge Mendes and has informed the club that he wishes to be relinquished from his contract to free him to join a Champions League side.

United have countered that they have no desire to sell him and maintained last night that there was no change in their stance, nor have they received any enquiries.

Talks have failed to change the 37-year-old's mind about wishing to leave but he will carry on in a professional manner.

Ronaldo only returned to Carrington on Tuesday after missing all of United's pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia.
