Just like all reality TV dramas should, Cristiano Ronaldo has followed the textbook transfer saga play, taking to social media to speak out on his future.
The Portuguese forward trudged off the field after playing 90 minutes as Erik ten Hag's men were battered 4-0 away to Brentford over the weekend, arousing more suspicions that all is not well on that front. The 37-year-old didn't move with the rest of his team to applaud the angry away fans, instead storming past his manager down the tunnel.
Ronaldo has remained an eery backdrop to transfer proceedings all window with nobody coming particularly close to signing him, yet his lack of activity in pre-season, put down to personal reasons, only brought about increased speculation.
