CRISTIANO RONALDO is more likely to STAY at Manchester United than leave.
That’s according to Sky Bet, who’ve dramatically altered their betting markets over the last 48 hours.
Bookies slashed odds on Ronaldo’s departure following reports he was ready to QUIT Old Trafford.
Ronaldo scored 24 goals and provided three assists in 37 appearances last season – finishing as the club’s top scorer.
But the five-time Ballon d’Or winner told officials that he would like to leave if an acceptable offer arrived.
Chelsea were thought to be his most likely destination at that point.
The Portuguese superstar available at 10/11 to join the Blues, and 7/4 to stay having NOT reported back for pre-season training.
He was also omitted from United’s squad for their pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia, citing personal reasons for his absence.

But he’s now offered at 4/7 to see out the next 12 months of his contract at the Theatre of Dreams.
And that could have something to do with manager Erik ten Hag.
The Dutchman reiterated the club’s stance that Ronaldo is not for sale, and is planning for life with the 37-year-old.
He said: “He’s not with us, it’s due to personal issues.
“We are planning with Cristiano Ronaldo for this season. I’m looking forward to working with him.
“He hasn’t told me he wants to leave. I have read but what I say, Cristiano is not for sale. He is in our plans and we want to have success together.”
