Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo is considering a return to Sporting, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The 37-year-old Portuguese wants to play in the group stage of the Champions League, where the Lisbon club made its way, but not the Manchester one.
It is noted that Sporting will not be able to pay the footballer's salary without the help of Manchester United. According to Spotrac, the striker earns £26.8m a year at Manchester United.
Ronaldo played for Sporting in 1997-2003.
