Cristiano Ronaldo will be holding talks with Erik ten Hag over his future in the Manchester United shirt beyond this summer’s transfer window, according to a report from BBC.
Ronaldo wants the Manchester United camp to sanction his exit this summer with the 37-year-old forward seeking Champions League football in the coming season which would not be available to him should he stay put at Old Trafford.
He sat out United’s pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia due to personal reasons and his return to the fold in Manchester United will be followed up by a meeting with the new head coach Ten Hag in order to discuss where his future lies.
The likes of Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have withdrawn from the race to land the Portuguese superstar who pockets a sizable wage as the Red Devils hope to retain his services for the 2022-23 campaign just a summer after re-signing him from Juventus.
Ten Hag, who is gearing up his debut season in the United dugout, has said in the past that he is keen on Ronaldo committing his future to the club despite the player missing pre-season training at Carrington.
