I love this country, and I want to play for you. Don't be sad, because I'm sad too. China is like a second home to me, I've been coming there since 2003/04. We have postponed the game.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr shifts focus to TWO Manchester United stars

As Al-Nassr players spend their mid-season break in a training camp in China, club management is busy plotting potential transfer moves for the January transfer window. It was reported earlier that United football director John Murtough had traveled to Saudi to explore potential players to sign in January. Latest reports suggest that the club is aiming for not just one, but two stars in the window.

To begin with, Manchester United is in the process of offloading players who contribute ‘less’ while also being heavy earners in the wage bill. Casemiro, the £60 million midfielder is yet to play since November. The Brazilian picked up an unfortunate injury and hasn’t been involved in first-team action ever since. Al-Nassr has also explored the possibility of bringing in the Brazilian, who is also a former teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo.

After receiving a ‘NO’ from Tottenham Hotspur to sign right-back Emerson Royal, Al-Nassr will now look to sign United man Aaron Wan-Bissaka. With United not offering a long-term deal to the defender, the player and agent may be lured by Al-Nassr, who were ready to shell out £20 million for Emerson Royal. Al-Nassr on the other hand, has already signed Manchester United left-back Alex Telles in 2023.
