Teddy Sheringham has suggested that Manchester United would create big transfer opportunities for themselves if they allow Cristiano Ronaldo to leave.
The wantaway superstar is not with the squad on their pre-season tour due to family reasons. However, he has become unsettled at Old Trafford in recent weeks.
He had been linked with a move to Chelsea, but that door has reportedly now been shut with the likes of Bayern Munich also rebuffing the idea of a transfer. Ronaldo netted 24 times in his homecoming campaign but some fans feel his presence stifled team cohesion.
