Cristiano Ronaldo remains hopeful of an exit from Manchester United this month and Atletico Madrid offer a potential escape route for the Portuguese star with Joao Felix now discussing his Portugal international teammate.
Ronaldo remains determined to depart the Red Devils this summer after just one season back at Old Trafford following his high-profile return from Juventus last year after 12 years away. He has been attempting to force through an exit for two months but no move has yet been concluded with less than a week remaining in the transfer window.
The 37-year-old was dropped to the bench for United’s spirited defeat of Liverpool on Monday. There was a fresh snub for Ronaldo at half-time too, as Erik ten Hag introduced Anthony Martial for his first appearance of the season to fill the central attacking role rather than look to the Portuguese superstar.
