Juventus ace Ronaldo has starred for the Old Lady since joining in the summer - banging in 12 goals in 21 games

While Red Devils left-back Luke Shaw rented the property off the five-time Ballon d'Or winner when he made the move from Southampton to United in 2014.

The England international paid Ronaldo £7,000-a-month, with the forward finally hoping to flog it once and for all.

Ronaldo has been in brilliant form for the Old Lady in his debut season in Italy - chipping in with 12 goals and eight assists in 21 games in all competitions.

But even though he has been a revelation in Turin, fans have still dubbed him as a "poor man's Romelu Lukaku" following his awful strike against Torino last weekend.
