Transfer Update: Ronaldo tells Manchester United bound EPL striker to join Juventus

Cristiano Ronaldo has told Manchester United bound Wolves striker, Raul Jimenez to join Juventus, instead, according to Gazetta dello Sport.

Ronaldo advised Jimenez to choose Juventus over Manchester United as the player has been linked with both clubs for the past year.

The Portuguse international wants Juventus to sign Jimenez this summer as a replacement for departing Gonzalo Higuain.

With the Red Devils and Old Lady both battling for the player’s signature, Ronaldo has spoken up much to the dismay of United fans.

Jimenez is reportedly ‘on his way’ to Old Trafford after reports in Portugal suggest Wolves have signed his replacement already in the person of Paulinho from SC Braga.

Jimenez joined Wolves on a permanent deal from Benfica for £32 million last summer and scored 26 goals in 53 appearances last season.
