Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has
ruled out signing Cristiano Ronaldo back from Real
Madrid.
BBC Sport reported in June that Ronaldo was left
upset after being accused of tax fraud and wants
to leave Spain.
A move back to United, whom he left for a then
world record £80m in 2009, has been mentioned
as a possibility.
However, when asked about the likelihood of the
move, Mourinho said it cannot happen due to the
“economic difficulty” of doing the deal.
Mourinho was asked about signing Portugal
captain Ronaldo after his side had beaten LA
Galaxy 5-2 in the first match of their pre-season
tour of the United States on Sunday.
“I am not going to get my club to waste time on
players who are mission impossible.
“Ronaldo is such an important player for his
club. A player of great economic power. We
have not been able to find any reason that could
have made us think that Ronaldo could leave.”
Mourinho added that he did not believe another
Real Madrid player, striker Alvaro Morata, will end
up at Old Trafford either.
“It is a shame,” he said.
“He is a player who made it to the first team
with me and I have a special liking for. I enjoyed
watching his evolution in Juventus and Madrid.
“But we have not reached an agreement with
his club and I don’t think he can end with us.”
