Manchester United's plans ahead of the forthcoming campaign have been thrown into doubt amid claims that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave the club in pursuit of Champions League football.
According to a report by The Times, the 37-year-old, who returned to Old Trafford in August last year, has told the club that he wishes to leave if they receive a 'substantial offer' for his signature. United missed out on qualifying for the Champions League this forthcoming season after finishing a disappointing sixth in the Premier League table.
United, just as they did last week when reports emerged about new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly discussing Ronaldo's future with super-agent Jorge Mends during a meeting in Portugal, moved quickly to reiterate their stance that he is not for sale. He scored 24 goals last season and is seen as someone who will play a key part in new manager Erik ten Hag's plans.
