'Ronaldo to Bayern would be sexy!': Lothar Matthaus urges German club to 'think about' signing the wantaway Manchester United forward and suggests he would be a like-for-like replacement for Robert Lewandowski

Former Bayern Munich midfielder Lothar Matthaus believes it would be 'sexy' if Cristiano Ronaldo moved to the German club this summer.

Ronaldo has told Manchester United he wishes to leave amid concerns he will be unable to compete for the biggest trophies at Old Trafford.

Although the Red Devils insist he is not for the sale, the 37-year-old has asked them to accept any suitable offer that comes in.
