Sport TV Portugal posted a photo of the car with the following statement on Instagram: “A photo circulates on social media that they say is of the Portuguese’s car in the garage of Jose Alvalade.”

Ronaldo informed United chiefs of his desire to leave Old Trafford as he wishes to play in the Champions League next season. The 37-year-old didn’t join the Red Devils in pre-season due to “family reasons”.
The star forward, though, hasn’t found a lot of suitors interested in snatching him away from Manchester. Paris Saint-Germain reportedly turned down the opportunity to sign him when he was offered by his agent Jorge Mendes.
Bayern Munich also insist they have no interest in buying the star forward despite Robert Lewandowski’s imminent departure. Chelsea also seem to have ended their interest after a discussion between new owner Todd Boehly and manager Thomas Tuchel.
