The Ballon d'Or winner Spanish journalist Alfredo Duro claimed on football TV show El Chiringuito that Ronaldo's representative Jorge Mendes met with United's chief scout Martin Ferguson in January.
Ferguson, brother of former Red Devils' manager Sir Alex, reportedly relayed the offer to Van Gaal who is said to have rejected the chance to sign the Portugal ace.
Passionate supporters' group United Reel showed how much they want their former prodigy to return to Old Trafford when they flew a banner over Villarreal's E Madrigal stadium wich read, "COME HOME RONALDO - UNITED REEL."
Ronaldo, who has a £1billion release clause in his contract, left the Premier League for Madrid in 2009 but has consistently been linked with a move back ever since.
