Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has been heavily linked with a move to Italian giants Napoli. Luciano Spaletti's side emerged as a potential destination for the Portuguese, who is keen to secure a move away from Old Trafford this summer.
According to El Chiringuito TV, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner will not be joining the Serie A club this summer. With just three days to go before the summer transfer window shuts, the striker is yet to resolve his future.
Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United from Juventus last summer for £13 million. The Red Devils signed him in the hope that he would be able to lead the Red Devils to their first Premier League title in nearly a decade.

Cristiano Ronaldo will need to win over Erik ten Hag if he remains at Manchester United
Ronaldo could stay at United this summer despite his desire to leave. The Portuguese forward is yet to find any suitors and has one year left on his contract with the Red Devils.
Ronaldo will undoubtedly be a star for any team he plays for due to his incredible abilities, experience, and desire to win. However, he will have to win over Erik ten Hag if he is to become a regular starter for the club once again.
According to 90min, Ten Hag has been left infuriated by Cristiano Ronaldo's recent behavior, which resulted in him dropping the forward for the games against Liverpool and Southampton. The Dutch boss opted to start Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Anthony Elanga in a front three in these games.
