Jose Mourinho has refuted suggestions that he vetoed a move to bring&nbsp;Cristiano Ronaldo&nbsp;back to&nbsp;Manchester United. Reports surfaced in the build-up to United's Premier League clash with Burnley that Ronaldo was open to a return to Old Trafford in the close-season, only for Mourinho to refuse the opportunity to sign the 33-year-old. However, speaking after United's 2-0 victory at Turf Moor, Mourinho was quick to rubbish those claims, insisting that signing Ronaldo - who he managed during his time at&nbsp;Real Madrid&nbsp;- was never an option. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/ronaldo-return-to-man-utd-was-never-an-option-insists/1w81xhsrk67xf111qa1c6oqei4" target="_blank">Read the full story on Goal!</a>

Manchester United&nbsp;midfielder Paul Pogba has come under fire from&nbsp;Liverpool legend Graeme Souness, who has accused the World Cup winner of being “selfish” and only in the team to keep his sell-on value high. The Red Devils have made a slow start to the Premier League season and have suffered successive defeats against Brighton and Tottenham, and Souness does not believe that the 25-year-old is pulling his weight. Indeed, he claims that Pogba would not even be in Jose Mourinho’s starting XI on merit. <a href="http://www.goal.com/en/news/pogba-only-plays-to-keep-his-transfer-value-up-souness/18hgm6b6tmg411ue5itu94jupq" target="_blank">Read the full story right here on Goal!</a>

Rangers are close to signing centre-back Gareth McAuley on a free transfer, Steven Gerrard has confirmed. The 38-year-old Northern Ireland international was released from West Brom in the close season after they were relegated from the Championship. Rangers have been working on a deal with McAuley since August and Gerrard expects to get it over the line soon. "There is no major rush, he’s been called up by Northern Ireland, so we won’t see him for a couple of weeks. That will be the last deal," Gerrard said after his side's 1-0 defeat to Celtic on Sunday.
