Legendary Manchester United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, is trying to convince Cristiano Ronaldo in private conversations to remain at the club, the UK Mirror reports.
United will not play the Champions League next season, as their woeful season continued with a 4-0 hammering at Brighton.

However, the 37-year-old has faced criticism over his performances and has been accused of not doing enough to support United’s attack.
