Jose Mourinho will not pursue Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
Manchester United have been loosely linked with a shock move for the Real Madrid superstar in recent times but with Mourinho set to take charge at Old Trafford, any slight chance of that occurring has been put to bed.
That is the opinion of Spanish football expert Guillem Balague who told Sky Sports News HQ that the Portuguese pair are unlikely to work together again following their time together at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Balague also suggested that Ronaldo could still remain at Real if the Spanish giants do not receive a suitable offer from French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
"Somehow I don't think Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo will ever cross paths again," Balague said.
"The relationship broke down when they were at Real Madrid and I'm not sure that will be rekindled.
"There's clearly an offer from PSG to get Ronaldo. It's a high offer but maybe not high enough for Real Madrid.
"There's a private agreement between Jorge Mendes and PSG for Ronaldo to go to France but if Real don't feel there is anyone of that calibre in the market, not only will they keep him but they may actually renew his contract for a couple more years."
