Cristiano Ronaldo became the focus of attention in England after confirming his intention to leave Manchester United this summer.
The Portuguese has already informed the club of his decision to leave Old Trafford, and he also did not join his first training session with the ‘red devils’. CR7 delayed his return to work with the team for family reasons.
The ‘Daily Mail’ revealed on Tuesday the confusion that exists at United. The English newspaper quoted sources from the club, who do not know when the player will return.
Sky Sports News has revealed that the Portuguese will not participate in the club’s pre-season tour in Thailand and Australia.
For his part, Erik ten Hag asks the Manchester United board to define the future of CR7 as soon as possible to find out if he will have him for next season.
There are many speculations and rumors about why Ronaldo requested his departure from the Red Devils. For example, former player Jamie O’Hara told talkSPORT what he believes are the reasons behind this decision:
“Ronaldo was their top scorer last season; he took a step forward in the big moments for the club. He left because he can see that they are a sinking ship,” O’Hara explained and added:
“He carried them for months… he has earned the right to say: ‘the future is not bright with Manchester United, I want to win trophies.’
After the idea of the captain of the Portugal national team was made public, various European clubs wanted to acquire his services. For now, it is said that Chelsea, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich are the ones that have expressed interest.
