The Glazer family has made mistakes aplenty in the last 17 years and it made another in the summer: Cristiano Ronaldo didn't want Manchester United anymore and Manchester United's manager didn't want Cristiano Ronaldo. Joel Glazer did.
Erik ten Hag was open to selling Ronaldo as far back as July but Glazer resisted a possible sale. That stance from United's co-owner, coupled with a lack of appropriate offers for Ronaldo, ensured Portugal's captain remained a United player on September 1.
The broken marriage was clearly never going to be fixed, though, and divorce was confirmed on Tuesday night. United are keeping the kids.
