Cristiano Ronaldo Is Looking To Leave Manchester United This Summer Following Erik Ten Hag Issue



Cristiano Ronaldo is looking to leave Manchester United following feeling left out of Erik ten Hag's plans for the club, according to recent sources.

According to La Repubblica, the 37-year-old player does not feel included in the strategy at Old Trafford under the Dutch boss.

This contradicts what Ten Hag has previously stated in public.

Manchester's manager recently stated that he "looks forward to working with Cristiano Ronaldo."

With questions about whether the No.7 fits the type of play that Ten Hag prefers, it's not out of the question that he'd want to work with a younger and more versatile striker.

Furthermore, the source adds that the absence of Champions League games at the Theatre of Dreams coming season has enhanced his chances of leaving the club this summer.

His advisor, Jorge Mendes, is already reported to be on the lookout for a new club for Cristiano.

Whispers of the forward's name have circulated around Jose Mourinho's AS Roma, particularly because the Italian club would've been able to benefit from tax breaks due to Ronaldo's tenure at Juventus.

However, according to the speculations, this destination is doubtful for the Portuguese as it involves a switch to another Europa League club.

During Last season, Cristiano Ronaldo recorded 23 goals and provided 3 assists, with 6 of those goals came in the Champions League, although United being eliminated in the round of 16 by Atletico Madrid.
His performances on his arrival to the Premier League earned him a spot in the Team of the Season as well as one of United's most coveted honours, the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Season Award.

Even though it was anticipated that Cristiano would lead the Reds to a title race, his personal campaign was something to be delighted of.

If Erik ten Hag at the helm, it would seem unfair for Cristiano to exist the club without a campaign in which he has a genuine opportunity of bringing silverware to the Manchester United fans.
Liverpool and Man City have both added a couple of Europe's most intriguing young centre-forwards, Darwin Nunez and Erling Haaland, to their squads.



With the rest of the striker market lacking in quality, United should preferably be aiming to extend Ronaldo's contract for another season.

Nevertheless, with Ten Hag engaging on a long-term project, if allegations about his disinterest for the 37-year-old in those plans are true, the club should respect that decision.
