The return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United was the focus of great hopes in England. However, the reality is far from that exciting return. The ‘Reds Devils’ are going through a bad season and the Portuguese plans to leave.
Despite the club being through to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, there is no chance of winning. In addition, in the Premier League there is no light of hope either. For this reason, the Portuguese would be very disappointed and has decided that he will leave at the end of the season.
Given all this, it is said that Cr7’s environment agreed to a meeting with the Manchester United board, specifically with the new chief executive, Richard Arnold, to plan your departure. According to The Sun newspaper, there it was agreed that the player would leave if he did not qualify for the next edition of the Champions League.
And it is that, according to the representation of Cristiano Ronaldo, his desire is to play until the age of 40 at the highest level. Therefore, he hopes to be part of teams that guarantee him, at least, the possibility of obtaining trophies during the rest of his career. And in Manchester United don’t see that opportunity.
About to turn 37, the Portuguese star has changed his mind as time passes at the club. Solskjaer’s departure, Rangnick’s adaptation and the demonstrated negligence of the rest of the teammates would have been the triggers for this radical decision.
Cristiano Ronaldo already gave starting lights in previous days
In addition to this, Cristiano already gave lights in previous days. Through an interview with Sky Sports, he would have said the following: “I don’t want to be in a club to fight for sixth or seventh place. I am here to try to win and to be competitive. I think that if we change our mentality we can do great things”, were his words.
“Manchester United must win the championship, or finish second or third. I can’t imagine any other classification”, added the Portuguese player. Meanwhile, it must be remembered that he missed the last two games against Aston Villa for the FA Cup and the Premier League.
Hypothesis about an alleged pressure from the Portuguese
Despite all the commotion, there is an idea that haunts the minds of some connoisseurs. And it is that of a supposed pressure that Cristiano Ronaldo is exerting on the board and the rest of his teammates so that they settle down and return to the level.
The above, goes through the same statements by Cristiano days ago. In them, He said he had a way to make things better, but he couldn’t tell because it wouldn’t be ethical to do so.. What did he mean by that?
«I know that we are capable of changing things, I know the way to do it, but I am not going to tell it because it would not be ethical. What I can tell you is that we can do better. All of us”, were the words of the Portuguese in an interview with Sky Sports.
