He told : ‘United want to keep Ronaldo, Ten Hag wants to work with him, but at the moment Ronaldo is looking at the squad and thinking, “why would I want to stay?”
‘This squad is not going to get anywhere near the top four. He’s not going to join a club bigger than Manchester United, but what he will do is score goals wherever he goes.
‘This might be the year where he says, “You know what, I’ve loved running the show in European football for the last 20 years, I might want to go over to America and enjoy my life”.
