Cristiano Ronaldo's emotional Manchester United reunion has gone sour after he lodged a sudden transfer request.
The former Real Madrid and Juventus star only returned to Old Trafford less than a year ago and was expected to get the Red Devils challenging for major honours once more. It is fair to say that it has not panned out that way with the club having slumped to a sixth-placed finish under Ralf Rangnick.
With the German gone and having been replaced by Erik ten Hag, there was hope that the duo could strike up a great understanding during the Dutchman's first campaign at the helm. That now seems unlikely to happen with Ronaldo having expressed a desire to leave.
