Rangnick on Ronaldo: 'As far as I know Cristiano will be here next season'

Cristiano Ronaldo will be staying at Manchester United next season, Ralf Rangnick has revealed.

As Manchester United's UCL dream seems to fade away, Ronaldo has been linked with a move away from United in recent months.

After their final home game of the season against Brentford, Rangnick was asked if Ronaldo's lap of honour was a 'wave of goodbye'.

'I don't think why it should be a wave of goodbye,' the German told Stadium Astro. 'He's got another year of contract and as far as I know he will be here next season again.'

Despite his claim that Ronaldo is staying put, Rangnick indicated before Monday's win over the Bees that United will look to add two or three new strikers to their ranks in the summer.

37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo only sealed an emotional return to United last year. He has produced a return of 24 goals in 37 appearances, one of which came in Monday's 3-0 win over Brentford.
