Erik ten Hag may be about to take on his first real media storm as manager of Manchester United as speculation surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's club future continues to circulate.
News broke last week that the 37-year-old has informed the Old Trafford hierarchy that he wishes to leave United if a club with Champions League football makes a sufficient bid for his services. Ronaldo's wish to depart is thought to stem from United's inactivity in the transfer market so far this summer window.
It may come as a surprise to the United faithful given new boss Ten Hag has been hard at work trying to secure the signatures of multiple players and appears to finally be making some progress. Dutch left-back Tyrell Malacia has already undergone his United medical, while a verbal agreement has been reached with Christian Eriksen.
