The Official Man Utd Thread - Part 3.

Cristiano Ronaldo tells Manchester United: It’s time for me to leave​


Cristiano Ronaldo has asked to be allowed to leave Manchester United should the Premier League club receive a satisfactory offer in the transfer window.

The 37-year-old’s decision is driven by a desire to play in the Champions League for the remainder of his career.

Ronaldo has been part of 19 consecutive Champions League seasons since leaving Sporting Lisbon for English football in the summer of 2003, establishing high watermarks for appearances (183), goals (140) and assists (42) in Europe’s premier club competition. He has never played in the Europa League, in which United will feature this season after finishing sixth in the Premier League.

The Portugal player believes he has “three or four years” left at the highest level of the game and would like to spend them at a club where he is capable of adding to his team and individual achievements. The state of disrepair at a United that placed faith in, then dismissed, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick last season is such that Ronaldo no longer views his future to be at Old Trafford.

According to close friends, Ronaldo’s affection and respect for United’s support remains as strong as ever. In addition to pursuing a transfer on sporting grounds, however, there are personal reasons for leaving Manchester after a difficult period for his young family.

Bayern Munich and Chelsea have already discussed the possibility of extracting the forward from an Old Trafford contract that runs until the summer of 2023 with an option for a further year. United agreed to pay Juventus a guaranteed transfer fee of €15 million (£12.9 million) with a further €8 million conditional “upon achievement of specific performance objectives” at the end of August. Ideally, they would want that investment returned to a limited summer transfer budget.

Ronaldo just proving he’s the utter wanker we always thought he was.

Deserting the club that made him for his own personal gain.

If ever there was proof that rats buy private helicopters in case of emergency.

But yes, he really loved United. :lol!:
 
Saw this under Romano’s post, definitely one of the regular posters in this thread.


“Am 💯 with Ronaldo Manchester United are unserious club what is this very irritating transfer season”
