Play all audios:


Manchester United may be keeping ahold of Cristiano Ronaldo after all, despite heavy speculation that the Portuguese would leave this summer. That's according to multiple reports that


now suggest that United would hold CR7 to the two-year contract that he signed last summer rather than letting him depart halfway through, as Erik ten Hag doesn't want to lose a striker


who has carried the Red Devils so often this season. While interim manager Ralf Rangnick didn't confirm whether or not the 37-year-old would remain in the Premier League next season,


however, he did say that the club will be in the market for "two or three" new forwards.  You may like "This is a question you need to ask Erik ten Hag," Rangnick told

three new strikers next season, it’s pretty obvious. "If you think of Manchester City and Liverpool, they brought in [players] every transfer window. "They strengthened the team,


they brought in players not that popular at the time when they signed and developed into the two best teams in the world. I wouldn’t be surprised if they play in the Champions League final


in a few weeks." The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. United have been linked with the likes of Sebastien Haller and Darwin Nunez in recent
