According to The Mirror, Ronaldo will undergo medicals in Lisbon, as he is already in Portugal country’s FIFA World Cup qualifier vs Republic of Ireland on September 1.

The publication added that if everything goes right, the former Real Madrid star could be named in the Man United line-up for the home clash with Newcastle United on September 11.

He was said to have recorded 10 wins out of 11 fixtures he's played against Newcastle United - scoring six and registering five assists in the process.
