The Portuguese ace, 37, has reportedly told Old Trafford chiefs that he wants to leave the club.

Morgan captioned the snap, "It’s time @Cristiano#afc" in the ultimate in cheeky tweets.
United legend is said to have asked the United hierarchy to accept any bids for him.
And that will put Chelsea on red alert as they hunt a striker to fill the gap left by Romelu Lukaku’s departure to Inter Milan.

Back in April, Morgan told talkSPORT: “Do you know what I’d do if I was Arsenal manager? I’d go in, get Cristiano Ronaldo and put him up front.
“I’ve had this conversation with him last week. I said ‘come to Arsenal’.
In the past, Morgan has begged Ronaldo not to score against his beloved Gunners.
New Blues chief Boehly recently met with Ronaldo's agent - Jorge Mendes - to discuss a host of topics, including a potential move for the sporting icon.
German giants Bayern are also interested in signing the veteran forward, who was a ray of light in an otherwise dismal season for the Red Devils.
Ronaldo was United's top goalscorer, finding the back of the net 24 times and providing three assists in 39 appearances.

Man Utd moved for NONE of Ralf Rangnick’s five suggested transfer targets… two of which went on to sign for City
RALF RANGNICK reportedly identified five Manchester United targets for this summer - and neighbours City signed two while the Red Devils went for none of them.
The German was appointed interim manager last term following Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s sacking and identified a handful of players to the board that would improve the club.

However, he was supposed to take up a consultancy role from the end of last season but he left to take charge of Austria just six days after Erik ten Hag's arrival.
Now Manchester Evening News are claiming that he still left them with a hit-list of five targets to secure this summer - but United failed to capture any of them.
Rangnick allegedly told them to move for Erling Haaland, Christopher Nkunku, Konrad Laimer, Julian Alvarez and Josko Gvardiol.

RB Leipzig and Croatia defender Gvardiol was seemingly his top priority while his team-mate Laimer was another of his recommendations.
He also allegedly told United to scout Leipzig striker Nkunku, who scored 35 goals in 52 appearances last season, but the French star has now penned a new long-term deal with the German outfit.
United knew that their hopes of signing hotshot Haaland were slim, and he is now starring for rivals City, but he still urged them to try and strike a deal with his £51m release clause becoming active over the summer.

Rangnick also reportedly brought Alvarez to United's attention in January.
But they were pipped by City again, who swooped for the Argentinian from River Plate for £14m back in January.
Rangnick and Ten Hag are not believed to have met in person but allegedly held talks before the former’s departure.
Despite his recommendations, United moved for none of these targets over the summer window.
Instead they signed full-back Tyrell Malacia, free agent Christian Eriksen and centre-back Lisandro Martinez.
Meanwhile, Adrien Rabiot is expected to become Ten Hag's fourth addition of the transfer window.
