Cristiano Ronaldo could finally have his Manchester United exit wish granted with a swap deal driven by Erik ten Hag's demand for the club to sign new forwards.
Ronaldo is determined to depart the Red Devils this summer after just one season back at Old Trafford following his high-profile return from Juventus after 12 years away. He has been attempting to force an exit since July.
The 37-year-old came on as a second-half substitute in the Premier League opening day defeat against Brighton as he was not deemed fit enough to start. He was restored to the starting line-up for the humiliating four-goal loss at Brentford on Saturday evening. Ronaldo snubbed a request from the club's assistant coach Steve McClaren to acknowledge the travelling United fans after the game – showing the disillusion engulfing the club.
