Cristiano Ronaldo may prevent Manchester United from completing the exciting double transfer of Harry Kane and Declan Rice this summer, according to reports.
With 15 goals this season, Ronaldo is Manchester United's top scorer. Manchester United has had a hit-or-miss season despite his efforts. The Red Devils are now fourth in the Premier League table, although they face stiff opposition from Arsenal, West Ham United, and Tottenham Hotspur. Many in the United camp, according to reports, have realized that signing the 37-year old from Juventus in the summer was a mistake. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner appeared to be on his way back to Manchester City, but United pulled it off at the last minute, with Ronaldo coming to Old Trafford for the second time.
The Red Devils are likely to spend a lot of money this summer as they try to make major changes under their new boss in preparation for next season.
Kane's future at Tottenham appears to be in doubt, while Rice's future at West Ham also appears to be in doubt, both of whom have been heavily connected with Manchester United in recent months.
Rice, according to Don Balon, would like to join Chelsea, while Kane remains hopeful of a move to Manchester City rather than Old Trafford.

According to the report, the England tandem does not trust Ronaldo and does not want to play alongside the experienced Portuguese international.
Despite showing flashes of his old brilliance this season, Ronaldo is definitely no longer at the pinnacle of his powers, yet he continues to wield enormous authority at United.
Bringing Ronaldo back appears to have been a mistake, as the 37-year-presence old's might potentially prevent the club from signing top targets like as Kane and Rice.
Despite the fact that Ole Gunnar Solksjaer was fired after a string of poor results, Manchester United has made little progress under Ralf Rangnick, and a top-four finish now appears to be their only realistic goal—something that will help the club financially as well as attract other players in the summer transfer window. Also, if Ronaldo leaves Manchester United, the club's offensive will be severely weakened. It will be fascinating to observe how things progress from here.
