Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly been forced to eat lunch alone as his attempts to leave Manchester United continue to frustrate his teammates.
The Portuguese striker lodged a shock transfer request earlier this summer amid a desire to return to the Champions League, whilst he has also been left frustrated with the Red Devils’ hesitation in the current market - only three new faces having arrived at Old Trafford so far over the past few months.
So far, his attempts to quit the club have not bore any fruit - the Red Devils taking a stern not-for-sale stance over the five time Ballon d’Or winner, whilst tangible offers for his services have not been forthcoming despite Jorge Mendes’ best efforts to seal a move to a Champions League club.
