Cristiano Ronaldo is intent on departing Manchester United before the end of the summer transfer window with his agent Jorge Mendes desperately trying to secure his Old Trafford exit.
The Portuguese superstar remains determined to depart the Red Devils this summer after just one season back at Old Trafford following his high-profile return from Juventus last year after 12 years away – but despite him declaring the intention over two months ago, he has not been able to secure a departure.
The 37-year-old was dropped to the bench for United’s spirited defeat of Liverpool last week and remained out of the line-up for Saturday’s victory at Southampton. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Anthony Elanga and Anthony Martial are among those who appear to be more favoured by boss Erik ten Hag in attack, with Ronaldo appearing to have no future in the starting XI.
