Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann has had a dig at agent Jorge Mendes over Cristiano Ronaldo's situation at Manchester United.

Ronaldo is being linked with Borussia Dortmund this week.

Nagelsmann said: "I don't care if he goes to Dortmund or not.

"I think his agent (Jorge Mendes) receives 10% of his salary, so he can make a few phone calls. It's his job. He is still under contract with Manchester United. We are not talking about other players. He's a good player and he's scored a lot of goals in his career and will probably score a few more.

"But whether he goes to Dortmund or not, that won't change my happiness."

And Nagelsmann to give his opinion on the matter: “I think you have to be able to afford him. I don't think it's worth dribbling for an apple and an egg. He's not the youngest player, it's a huge sum. I think a lot of clubs would like to have him, but for 15 Bundesliga teams it would be difficult to pay his annual salary. I don't think they will play for €500,000 a year."
