Manchester United have ruled out any possibility of signing Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos in the January transfer window.

Reports had suggested that the Red Devils were considering a surprise move for Ramos after the veteran defender recently became a free agent.

Ramos left Mexican club Monterrey earlier this month following the expiry of his contract.

However, according to ESPN, Manchester United have “no interest” in signing the 39-year-old and are not pursuing a sensational deal to bring him to Manchester.

Ramos has won one World Cup and two European Championships, as well as four UEFA Champions League titles and five La Liga titles over the course of his career.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are expected to sign new players in the January transfer window to strengthen manager Ruben Amorim’s squad for the second half of the season.
