Lionel Messi has already shared his thoughts on the tricky situation of his long-term adversary Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United - the first time he faced problems at Old Trafford last season.
Ronaldo, 37, has been intent on departing United for the past four months after his high-profile return from Juventus last year failed to go to plan. Despite netting 24 goals across all competitions last season, the Red Devils' collective form nosedived, and they finished a distant sixth in the Premier League.
Ronaldo stormed down the tunnel at Old Trafford after Manchester United's dominant two-goal victory over Tottenham – forcing boss Erik ten Hag to axe the star for the following trip to Chelsea last weekend. It is now anticipated that he will leave Old Trafford next year, and potentially as early as the January transfer window.
