United can meet Ronaldo's wage demands to make him highest-paid player (reliability: 5 stars)

Man United have the financial scope to absorb Cristiano Ronaldo’s huge salary demands if they make a move for him in the summer, as per The Athletic.

But the club also realizes that they will have to make the Portuguese star their highest-paid player – surpassing David de Gea who reportedly earns around £375,000-a-week.

The Red Devils also have a theory that Juventus could be forced to sell Ronaldo for a reduced fee due to their current financial troubles.

With Juve also being a huge admirer of Paul Pogba, it was recently rumored that the Red Devils could swap him for Ronaldo in the summer.

Despite only winning the Coppa Italia title, Cristiano enjoyed a pretty good campaign with Juve – scoring 36 goals in all competitions.
