Cristiano Ronaldo is in limbo over his future at Manchester United after he announced he wants to leave for a Champions League club.
United are desperate to retain the 37-year-old's services, but Ronaldo knows his playing days are nearly over and he wants to make the most of his career to ensure he continues breaking records at the highest level.
Erik ten Hag will have considered letting the forward leave as it may not be advisable to keep a player who publicly wants out. But it seems the Dutchman is still determined to change Ronaldo's mind and is hopeful he'll represent Man United this coming season.
