Real Madrid want to bring back Cristiano Ronaldo to the Santiago Bernabeu in January.

The Spanish giants, according to Football Insider, are monitoring Ronaldo’s situation at Manchester United.

Football Insider reports that the La Liga giants believe a deal for the 36-year-old could be struck in January following Ralf Rangnick’s arrival at Old Trafford.

The Spanish side still believe that the Portugal international would not be able to adapt to Rangnick’s system of football and would gladly return to the Spanish capital this January.

The report adds that there is a sense that the former Juventus star is unsuited to the high-energy pressing game at Old Trafford.
