Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo, who has a contract with the Red Devils for another season until June 30, 2023, may consider changing clubs during the summer transfer window.
According to British media, the 37-year-old Portuguese player is especially irritated by Manchester United’s inaction in the transfer market. As it turns out, Cristiano Ronaldo spoke several times before the start of the new season with the new head coach of the team Erik ten Hag. The forward is delighted with the Dutch specialist’s desire to bring attacking football back to Old Trafford. Still, the Portuguese is very worried due to the club’s instability in the transfer market.
Manchester United was the Premier League side expected to make the most additions to their squad this summer. Yet all but one of their top-six rivals have already made moves. Manchester City and Liverpool have already sealed deals for Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez, respectively.
Arsenal has signed FC Porto midfielder Fabio Vieira. Their main rival Tottenham has lured Yves Bissouma, Fraser Forster, and Ivan Perisic to North London. Chelsea is yet to seal a deal, but the club’s £4.25 billion takeover is still fresh. Nonetheless, they are seemingly heading towards replacing Romelu Lukaku with Raheem Sterling in their sights.
Manchester United transfer talks
With opponents making moves, Cristiano Ronaldo’s nerves about Manchester United’s current progress are understandable. Luring Barcelona star Frenkie de Jong to Old Trafford would be an astute deal.
Ronaldo would likely have expected to be joined by a strike partner this summer. However, United is seemingly no closer to potentially easing the goal-scoring burden on the Portuguese star. At the moment, only Ajax’s winger Antony is being linked to the Manchester side.
Ronaldo’s future at Manchester United in jeopardy
It is noted that Cristiano is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. While talking to his entourage, he admits that he will start looking for a new club if the Mancunians do not take more active care to strengthen the squad.
By the way, the media previously reported that Ronaldo’s career might continue at Bayern. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner will be tried in Munich in case the German club departs ways with Robert Lewandowski this summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned to Manchester United in the summer of 2021. Although, he failed to win any titles in two seasons. In the 2021/22 season, the club finished 6th in the English Premier League, therefore, was left without the Champions League.
The Portuguese star played in 38 matches in all competitions for the Mancunians last season. In these games, he managed to score 24 goals and get 3 assists on top of that.
