The Real Madrid superstar was disappointed when the 71-year-old retired at the end of last season.
Part of the winger’s attraction of a return to Old Trafford was to work again with the man he regarded as a father figure.
But United still believe Fergie’s influence as a director at the club will work in their favour.
And they believe a word from the ex-boss in Ron’s ear can swing a transfer their way.
Ferguson will not be meddling with the new era of David Moyes but if he can encourage Ronaldo to come back he will do so.
The Portugal ace and Ferguson have remained close since the player left in 2009 for £80million.
When Fergie’s retirement was announced Ronaldo simply tweeted: “Thanks for everything, Boss.”
It was another tweet on Friday that gave United fans hope, which said: “All the news about my renewal with Real Madrid are false.” — The Sun.
