The future of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United may be influenced by Antonio Conte... less than 12 months after he ‘vetoed’ the Italian’s appointment at Old Trafford.
Ronaldo wants to leave United after just one season due to their failure to secure Champions League football. The 37-year-old returned to United last year, but the return has not worked out as planned as the club finished sixth in the Premier League last season – 11 points off the top five and enduring a miserable campaign.
United have not planned for Ronaldo’s exit this summer but Brazilian forward Antony is said to be among the leading transfer targets for new boss Erik ten Hag who is keen to reunite with the 22-year-old - Ajax's star player last season. United are said to be in pole position to land the Brazilian given his strong relationship with the Red Devils boss at the Amsterdam Arena while the player's representatives recently travelled to Europe in order to discuss a possible transfer this summer.
