The Sun reports the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is set to pocket a massive £480 000-a-week or around £25millon a year.
The massive wages will see him become the highest earner in the Premier League ahead of Man City's Kevin De Bruyne who is believed to be banking around £385 000-a-week.
It is understood Ronaldo has been forwarded with a two-year contract offer at Old Trafford, with his wages now dwarfing David de Gea's £375 000-a-week which had him as the club's best earner.
According to reports, Ronaldo is expected to earn more millions as he will get a cut from the sale of his replica shirts by United.
The 36-year-old is currently in Lisbon where he is believed he could have his medical before flying to Manchester later.
His second debut for the Red Devils is expected to be against Newcastle at Old Trafford after the international break.
