Sporting fans have made it clear they want Cristiano Ronaldo back at the club, as the saga surrounding his Manchester United exit takes another twist.
The 37-year-old is desperate to leave Old Trafford this month, less than 12 months into the blockbuster two-year contract he signed last August. His return to the Red Devils was supposed to be the final piece in United’s quest to win the title for the first time post-Sir Alex Ferguson.
But despite his 18 top-flight goals, United endured their worst ever Premier League season, recording just 58 points and finishing down in sixth. That means Erik ten Hag’s first campaign at the club will see them competing in the Europa League, rather than the Champions League.
