Gary Neville has warned Manchester United that they face a repeat of their nightmare with Paul Pogba if they don't allow Cristiano Ronaldo to depart this summer.
Ronaldo is intent on leaving the Red Devils and has only played 45 minutes of football in pre-season. United maintain that the 37-year-old isn't for sale despite agent Jorge Mendes scouring the market to find a move, but Neville reckons that letting Ronaldo go would potentially save the club a great deal of hassle over the course of the new season.
"Let me be really clear, Ronaldo's achievements in football go beyond anything that anybody could ever wish for and imagine," the former Red Devils captain began while speaking on the Overlap, in partnership with Sky Bet . "He'll go down in the top players of all time and always will be, and what happens this summer at Manchester United will be forgotten about in 20 years.
