Manchester United are reportedly mulling over the idea of back-tracking on their original stance and allowing Cristiano Ronaldo to leave the club this summer.
The potential change of heart is thought to stem from the fact that Ronaldo is now allegedly having such a detrimental impact on team morale that Erik ten Hag feels it could be more damaging to actually keep the five-time Ballon d'Or winner around the place.
Ever since the forward made clear he desired a new challenge mid-way through the summer, United have stood firm and insisted he is not for sale. Ten Hag spoke highly of the 37-year-old and explained how excited he was to work with a "giant" of the game.
