Cristiano Ronaldo Closer to Staying at United

The situation of Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United remains one of the hottest topics in the world of sport.

With just under a month to go before the market closes, the chances of Cristiano Ronaldo finally leaving Manchester United this summer are slowly diminishing.

On July 26, Cristiano appeared in Carrington, United’s sports facilities, together with his agent Jorge Mendes to negotiate his departure. Sir Alex Ferguson was waiting for him there, hoping that the player would reconsider his position and stay with the team. The meeting did not go as expected, and negotiations stalled.

Ronaldo was called up for United’s preseason game against Rayo Vallecano. Still, the Portuguese only played the first half and left the stadium before the game ended, something his new manager Erik Ten Hag did not like.

The Dutch coach was very upset with the players’ attitudes, who left Old Trafford after the break in the match against Rayo. “I tell you this, that is unacceptable. We are a team; we are a squad. You have to stay until the end “, were the exact words of Ten Hag.

Every day that passes, Cristiano’s departure from Manchester United becomes more complicated. The market will remain open until September 1, but negotiating the player’s departure once the season starts will be more difficult. On the other hand, it is a fact that if he stayed at United, the situation would be very tense, and Erik ten Hag would probably leave him relegated to the bench due to his attitude.
