Meanwhile, National Daily can confirm that the Portuguese international is set to make a sensational return to United with the Old Trafford reported to have agreed a fee for the 36-yar-old Real Madrid top scorer.

The report reveals that the Red Devils have agreed to pay Juventus €15m (£12.8m) plus a further €8m (£6.8m) in add-ons for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is set to sign a two-year contract after personal terms are finalized.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told reporters earlier on Friday: “[Ronaldo] knows we’re here.”

Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes said earlier in the day that a deal for the 36-year-old to return to Old Trafford was very close.

Confirming the news, an official United statement read: “Manchester United is delighted to confirm that the club has reached agreement with Juventus for the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, subject to agreement of personal terms, visa and medical.

“Everyone at the club looks forward to welcoming Cristiano back to Manchester.”

Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s departure from the Turin club was confirmed on Friday by boss Massimiliano Allegri, who revealed he was told by the player he had “no intention” of playing for the club again.

However, it was understood that United’s rivals Manchester City were offered the chance to sign the Portugal captain and considered making a move, but the Etihad club eventually pulled out of negotiations..

Earlier report has revealed that Ronaldo spent an hour and a half at Juventus’ training ground on Friday morning to say goodbye to his team-mates before boarding a private jet from Turin to Lisbon. He was in the final year of his £500,000-per-week contract.

In a farewell post on social media, Ronaldo wrote: “Today I depart from an amazing club, the biggest in Italy and surely one of the biggest in all of Europe. I gave my heart and soul for Juventus and I’ll always love the city of Turin until my final days.

“The ‘tiffosi bianconeri’ always respected me and I tried to thank that respect by fighting for them in every game, every season, every competition.

“I will always be one of you. You are now part of my history, as I feel that I’m part of yours. Italy, Juve, Turin, tiffosi bianconeri, you’ll always be in my heart.”

Ronaldo who won three Premier League titles, the FA Cup, two League Cups and the Champions League under former United boss Sir Alex scored 118 goals in 292 appearances for the Red Devils between 2003 and 2009 before joining Real Madrid in a then world-record deal.
