Cristiano Ronaldo and Mauricio Pochettino could trade places in blockbuster summer transfer between Man Utd and PSG

CRISTIANO RONALDO and Mauricio Pochettino could swap places in a blockbuster summer transfer, reports claim.

The Portuguese, who turned 37 on Saturday, is claimed to be disillusioned with life back at Old Trafford.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Man United return could be a brief one
Mauricio Pochettino is likely to be replaced if he fails to win the Champions League this season

According to the Mirror, his agent Jorge Mendes could help facilitate a move to Paris Saint-Germain for him… with Pochettino possibly moving in the other direction.

Ronaldo is without a goal in his last four games, after missing a penalty in Man United’s dismal FA Cup exit to Middlesbrough.

Should he fail to net against Burnley on Tuesday, he will be in the midst of his worst club goal drought since 2010.

A move to PSG could see him link up with long-time rival Lionel Messi, with the two veterans both aiming to add another Champions League medal to their collections.

He would likely replace the outgoing Kylian Mbappe, with the 23-year-old rumoured to have agreed an £800,000-a-week deal with Real Madrid.

Messi and Ronaldo could play under the latter’s old Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, with the Frenchman possibly being lined up to replace Pochettino.

Should the former Tottenham manager fail to win the Champions League this season, he is likely yo be moved on by PSG chiefs.

This could lead to a move to Man United, with the Red Devils having long admired the Argentine’s work.

Pochettino, 49, would potentially be tasked with mending the club’s fractured dressing room.

SunSport revealed this week that United have been divided by its players’ differing responses to Mason Greenwood’s arrest on suspicion of rape and assault.
