“Ronaldo has told you what he wants, so why hang onto him?” ex-Arsenal defender Paul Merson wrote for the Daily Star about Cristiano Ronaldo’s uncertain future at Man United.
“United have got to draw the line and get rid of him if they really want to catch City and Liverpool. If they can make him out to be the bad one, I think they've had a result. In all honestly, I don't think he does them any favours anyway.
“People say he got 24 goals last season, but United never looked like winning anything. It's all right him doing that, but it's like a snooker player making 147s every game and never winning a tournament,” he also added.
Ronaldo made his first appearance under Erik ten Hag in the 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano and seems to be gearing up to start the Premier League season with the Red Devils.
However, his agent Jorge Mendes is still reportedly trying to organize a transfer for him due to Cristiano’s desperation to play in the Champions League.
