Cristiano Ronaldo transfer decision to hand Erik ten Hag £80million Man Utd boost

Cristiano Ronaldo's desire to leave Manchester United would free-up a significant amount of funds for the club as they drastically reduce their outgoings from last year.

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.

The Portuguese superstar may have netted 24 goals in all competitions last season in a deeply dysfunctional team but he will celebrate his 38th birthday next season and can limit what United are capable of doing, alongside being the club’s highest-earning player.
