United could let Ronaldo leave

BCC reporting that we are prepared to let Ronaldo leave before the window closes:

========================

Manchester United could let Cristiano Ronaldo leave Old Trafford during the current transfer window amid concerns about how the striker's mood is affecting morale in the camp.

Manager Erik ten Hag's public stance has been that Ronaldo, 37, is not for sale and is part of his plans.

However, senior figures have been alarmed at how quickly the overwhelmingly positive feelings around the camp generated during a successful pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia have disappeared.

The Portuguese has a year left on the contract he signed when he returned to the club from Juventus less than 12 months ago. but wants United to let him leave this summer.

While successive Premier League defeats to Brighton and Brentford have clearly shaken United badly, part of the overall picture has been put down to Ronaldo.

The Portuguese is said to be a negative presence at the club, hardly communicates with his team-mates in the canteen and has made no secret of his desire to move away.

Sources have told BBC Sport they fear there will be no change to United's current issues until Ronaldo has gone and there is a belief amongst some that even if the forward left and there was no replacement, the general uplift would trigger a significant improvement in overall performances.

It is this issue Ten Hag, chief executive Richard Arnold and football director John Murtough are wrestling with before the transfer window closing on 1 September.

====================

Time to get rid. He is never going to work in ETH's system and especially not if he is playing with this type of attitude. Best to get him out of the club and hopefully it will have a positive impact on the camp.

This could perhaps be why we are suddenly being linked with Matheus Cunha.

Even stronger rumours now of him being offered to Wolves. No chance we would want him for the fees involved.

Wolves would be idiots to take him.

Completely agree. Great player he can still be on his day but he brings far more baggage than we need.

I’d love to see his face when he’s told he’s been offered to Wolves.

Laugh all you want, if he were to go to any club outside of the obvious it would be us with 6+ of his Portuguese team mates. Also just adding Mathaus Nunes, one of the best midfielders in the game, most would have said we had no chance of him two days ago.

You need to improve massively. After 2 good seasons when you came up you’ve arguably been the biggest underachiever after us and Everton.

Last two years have been miserable with Fosun investing nothing and having their wings clipped from China. That changed a few weeks back after Fosun were given the green light again to invest in Wolves and we apparently have just added wealthy backers from Qatar. 90 million this window so far and a few more to come allegedly.

Why not? He's already set to play for them at the World Cup.

How can you possibly disagree? The confidence of the players is on the floor and has been for over a year.

Most of these players shouldn’t be at the club. But United need to try and rebuild a more harmonious dressing room, Ronaldo isn’t going to help with that.

There’s really no good argument for keeping him at this stage.

These Ronaldo fanboys just cannot see it.

Most of us knew his arrival would be problematic and they refused to listen
