Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is finally set to grant a transfer request made by Cristiano Ronaldo – but two months after the forward departed Old Trafford.
Ronaldo completed a stunning move to Saudi Arabia club Al-Nassr on Friday and is expected to earn in the region of £173million per year. The deal comes after Ronaldo ended his relationship with Manchester United by mutual consent in November following a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
His exit concluded an underwhelming 18 months at United following his stunning return to Old Trafford in August 2021. Despite netting 24 goals in his debut season, United’s form nosedived after his arrival and his personal output significantly decreased this campaign.
