Berbatov who shared the same locker room with Ronaldo at the Old Trafford told betfair:
"Manchester City have been linked with him and, now that they won't be signing Kane, they are probably looking at other options in attack.
"Ronaldo would be a good fit at Man City but do I see him going there? I doubt it. He is still one of the best in the world but Pep Guardiola's philosophy might not suit them signing Ronaldo.
"With his history with United, I don't see him gaining anything by going to City."
