Cristiano Ronaldo is encouraging Manchester United to accept offers for him.

The Portugal striker, at 37, faces playing in the Europa League for the first time next season.

BBC Sport claims the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is reluctant to play in the competition at this stage in his career.

Ronaldo is anxious to stress he respects United but he wants to compete for the biggest prizes.

But he wants United to allow him to leave if the right offer is tabled for him.
