When the transfer window reopens in January, striker Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United might sign with a team competing in the Champions League.
In the summer, the 37-year-old made unsuccessful attempts to force a transfer away from the Red Devils.
For the first time in his professional career, Ronaldo played in the Europa League.
Erik ten Hag, the manager of United, uses Ronaldo little in the Premier League and he might try to move again in the offseason.
According to UEFA regulations, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner could join with a Champions League squad in January and participate in the knockout stages of the competition in February.
Despite Ronaldo playing three times for United in the Europa League this year, this is the case.
