Man Utd hopeful of Ronaldo stay

Manchester United's Richard Arnold is working to convince Cristiano Ronaldo to withdraw his request to leave the club, reports the Times. The club believes it is making headway in convincing Ronaldo to stay after the striker previously informed those in charge that he'd like to move on in search of Champions League football. There is no bad blood between the two parties, though, as Arnold has been impressed by how Ronaldo's camp has handled his exit request, opening the door for dialogue between all involved.
