Udinese have used their flying start to the season to boldly ask Cristiano Ronaldo to join the club.
The Friulian side are currently third in the Serie A table, having racked up 16 points in their first seven games thanks to five wins from a draw.
Andrea Sottil’s men hope to maintain that form for the rest of the season to make a bid for European football, and have capitalized on their good form by proposing Ronaldo move to Italy – started by goalkeeper Marco Silvestri .
Serie A side Udinese jokingly asks Cristiano Ronaldo to join the club on their Twitter account
It was goalkeeper Marco Silvestri who first asked Ronaldo if he would join Udinese
Silvestri responded to a post on Instagram discussing Ronaldo’s ambitions by tagging the Manchester United star and asking him to join Udinese.
The club then complied with their goalkeeper’s request by posting an image of the Instagram discussion on their Twitter account and adding some cheeky emojis and supporting Silvestri’s invitation.
The Portuguese legend spent most of the summer looking for a way out of Old Trafford, but saw several big clubs lose interest in him as he looked for Champions League football.
The Man Utd superstar struggled for game time in Erik ten Hag’s new attacking approach
Instead, the 37-year-old stayed at Old Trafford and got off to a stuttering start to the season. Just starting one Premier League game and playing only a small part in United’s current four-game streak.
His only goal of the campaign so far was last week’s Europa League victory over Sheriff Tiraspol – Ronaldo’s first-ever goal in the league.
United boss Erik ten Hag has opted for a more dynamic attack this season, with Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and even Christian Eriksen leading the way for Ronaldo. With the five-time Champions League winner struggling to play himself back in the first XI.
Udinese has been one of Serie A’s surprise packs so far this season, but only lost one game
Those current problems have not discouraged Ronaldo, however. He today dismissed claims that the World Cup would be his last major tournament, saying he has plans to play for Portugal at the European Championship in 2024.
Meanwhile, Udinese has been one of the stories of the Serie A season so far, losing just one game and upsetting some of the league’s big players.
Earlier this month, they defeated Roma 4-0 and triumphed over Inter Milan last weekend with a 3-1 win.
