But in return they want Ronaldo to trigger a year-extension to his current deal which is due to expire next summer.
That would allow Ronaldo to return to United at the end of the season.
There is hope he can then play in Europe's elite competition in Manchester again if Erik ten Hag can guide the Red Devils to a Champions League spot in the upcoming campaign.

The proposal is said to have been put forward by the club in talks with Ronaldo's super-agent Jorge Mendes.
But both Ronaldo and Mendes have been left surprised by the offer after the Portuguese ace made it clear he wanted to leave.
Although Ronaldo's camp are yet to turn down United's proposal.
