Manchester United's preparations for the 2022/23 campaign have been thrown into jeopardy following the revelation that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave the club in pursuit of Champions League football.
A report published by The Times on Saturday claimed that Ronaldo has told United that he wants to leave Old Trafford and he would like them to grant him an exit if they receive a 'satisfactory offer'. United quickly responded to the claims, reiterating that he is not for sale this summer.
New manager Erik ten Hag, who will take charge of his first match in just over a week's time when United face Liverpool in their pre-season opener in Bangkok, values Ronaldo's talents and wants him to play a key part in his plans this season. However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's future at Old Trafford has been thrown into serious doubt.
