Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has admitted interest in Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Dutchman has admitted for the first time that he wants to bring the Portuguese world footballer of the year back to Old Trafford.

“Ronaldo plays on the wings and he is fast and scores goals," said Van Gaal to the Mirror.

“There is no trainer in the world that doesn't like him.

“Of course we are looking - but are looking at all players, not just Ronaldo. But these players are mostly ungettable.

“With Ronaldo, let's wait and hope."
