As reported by The Express, the Owners of Manchester United, the Glazers, are ready to agree with the rest of the board’s decision of letting Cristiano Ronaldo leave Old Trafford this January.
After throwing a temper tantrum against Tottenham in the middle of the week, the Portugal international missed the intense 1-1 draw against Chelsea. The Red Devils are willing to let him depart for free, so it appears that his days at the club are numbered.
Ronaldo’s request to leave Manchester United in the summer shocked the team after he scored 24 goals during a turbulent season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick.
However, reports suggest that the Red Devils did not get any bids for the Portugal international and that situation is still the same. The Glazers and the rest of the United hierarchy are in agreement on letting the 37-year-old go after being disappointed by the striker’s current situation. Since the summer, the player has been linked to elite teams like Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli, and Chelsea. However, no team presented an official offer, and the current situation is still the same.
The club is willing to let him leave for free, as they could also save a significant amount of salary (the veteran is thought to be making somewhere around £500,000 per week at Old Trafford).
The former Juventus and Real Madrid star is apparently ‘unmoved’ by ambitious teams from Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
United is still holding out hope that someone will try to save Ronaldo from his nightmare, especially if he does well for Portugal at the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. Even though the 37-year-old still has six months left on his contract, they are willing to sell the player due to his demands. Erik ten Hag has publicly stated that he is still relying on the attacker despite his outburst against Tottenham.
