Could Cristiano Ronaldo buy a stake in Man Utd? CR7 warned off sensational Old Trafford return as fellow club legend makes 'escalation' point

Ronaldo does not seem to be slowing down on the pitch and is enjoying life with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, but the football legend will have one eye on life after his playing days. Some have suggested that the legendary forward could invest in a club after retiring, but Sheringham doesn't think he'll be back at Man Utd, where chaos continues to reign under new part-owners Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS.

Speaking to casinoapps.com, the ex-Man Utd and Tottenham star said: "I don't think Ronaldo will be getting involved in Manchester United, not as a first involvement as someone going into a football club. I think he'll be going to Portugal and getting a little club there to get some sort of experience. If that's what he wants to do with his money, who knows? It's just one thing after another with Man United and when results aren't going great for you as well, it all escalates tenfold, doesn't it?"

Speculation about Ronaldo's future continues to grow after the Al-Nassr star turned 40 in February. Management is a possibility on the cards for the former Real Madrid man, but he will likely dip his toes in more than one business venture. For now, though, he continues to lead his side in Saudi Arabia and has his sights set on the World Cup with Portugal in 2026.

Al-Nassr remain eight points off Pro League leaders Al-Ittihad heading into the final stretch of the season. Ronaldo has bagged 21 goals in 25 appearances this term and will be looking to lead his side to the highest possible finish, starting with a win against Al-Riyadh on Saturday.
