Cristiano Ronaldo and his family have switched mansions after bleating sheep kept waking them.

Manchester United’s new signing, 36, who loves his rest between matches, has moved from one seven-bed home to another.

Ronaldo escaped his animal woes by moving into a $5.6 million seven-bed owned by a former Man United star.

A security team had whisked the Man United legend and his family to an $11 million home on 23 acres days after his return to the English powerhouse was sealed. But the striker, partner Georgina Rodriguez and their four children moved out after less than a week due to the noise from sheep and security fears.

A source told The Sun: “While the property is beautiful and is nestled in rolling fields and woodland, it was also close to sheep which are very noisy early in the morning.

“It had a public footpath across the land and the road at the front gave a view inside its gates.

“Ronaldo is a true pro who places a lot on rest and recovery after games, so it was decided it was best if he and his family moved.”

The new home boasts a pool, cinema room and four-car garage for some of his $32 million worth of supercars. It has CCTV cameras, electric gates and is patrolled by guards.

According to estate agents, the property is unique thanks to its “gardens which screen the house from view”, despite it being a short walk from night-life.

A source said: “Ronaldo lived close by during his previous stint so it feels like home.

“His kids are in a private school and he hopes that once the buzz of his return to United dies down, he can take Georgina out and show her his favourite local spots.”

United said they and Juventus had agreed terms for Ronaldo on August 27, after it looked like he was going to sign with arch-rivals Manchester City. He made a dream start on the weekend, scoring twice in a 4-1 win over Newcastle United.

He scored again in the club’s 2-1 Champions League defeat to Young Boys in Switzerland on Wednesday.

Ronaldo bagged 118 goals in 292 games in his first stint with Manchester United between 2003-2009.
