While You Were Asleep: Ronaldo to leave United in January, Leicester end six match losing run, Higuaín announces retirement

Ronaldo is eyeing a departure from Old Trafford. Maddinson scores twice in Leicester's 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Higuain hopes to crown his career with an MLS title.

Earlier, the Manchester United boss wanted to retain the Portuguese forward when he first took over at Old Trafford, but it is understood that Ten Hag will stand in Cristiano Ronaldo’s way if a suitable offer is made.

Ronaldo has made eight appearances for the Red Devils this season, scoring just one penalty in a 2-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol in the UEFA Europa League.

Leicester thump Nottingham Forest 4-0

Riding on the brace from midfielder James Maddison, Leicester City ended their six-match losing run after their thumping 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

Maddison scored two — one being a curling free kick in off the far post — while Harvey Barnes and substitute Patson Daka, with a deft flick from Maddison’s cross.
