There is a transfer derby in Manchester taking place over Cristiano Ronaldo. While Manchester City have held ever intensifying talks in recent hours with agent Jorge Mendes, there is now a charge from United that could be decisive.
United have now surpassed their rivals, echoing the comments made by coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in his press conference.
The Red Devils, are in talks with Jorge Mendes to try to complete the deal: they are looking to overtake Manchester City in the move.
City must first sell a player before they are able to add Ronaldo, with Sterling on the transfer list. But at the moment there are no ongoing talks for his exit. City did not want to submit an offer for Ronaldo's transfer fee, for which Juventus were asking for €25 million.
Manchester United is set to offer Cristiano Ronaldo a two year contract, Manchester City's offer was for just one year.
All factors indicate United leading the race for Cristiano Ronaldo: the player has left Turin and is now awaiting his next destination.
