Why Christiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United?
Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United this summer if Red Devils receive a suitable offer this window.
The 37-year-old Portugal forward made a fairytale return to Old Trafford from Juventus last summer but despite being United’s top scorer last season, and 3rd in the Premier League, the overall season was disappointing.
Manchester United finished an underwhelming sixth in the Premier League, missing out on Champions League qualification, leaving the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, who has a year left on his contract plus an optional year, facing the prospect of playing in the Europa League for the first time.
From the Manchester United side, the player “is not for sale and remains under contract with them for another year”. New manager Erik ten Hag is keen to work with him.
Why Christiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United?
Champions League. Yes! Champions League is where Ronaldo belongs, who has won the competition five times and is desperate to compete for it going forward.
A lack of Champions League football this coming season is thought to be part of the reasoning behind his desire to leave.
The forward wants United to be competitive at the highest level and is said to be keen for them to match his ambition by strengthening the squad. But they have still not made a signing since Erik ten Hag’s appointment.
Ronaldo is confident he still has three or four years left in him at the very top level and wants to represent a team capable of winning trophies.
