Cristiano Ronaldo is still facing an uncertain future, but Manchester United fans may be starting to feel positive that the Portuguese megastar will stay at Old Trafford next season.
According to a recent report from leading transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo has rejected the chance to move to Saudi Arabia and the United States.

If Mendes cannot find a new club for his star client, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will have no choice but to see out the remainder of his contract at Old Trafford, and that could leave him with egg on his face.
Should Ronaldo stay at United next season, fans will forgive him for his apparent desire to move on, but failure to find a new club this summer will undoubtedly serve the former Galactico with a harsh reminder that not even the best can go on forever.
