Manchester United chiefs are growing in the belief that Cristiano Ronaldo should be allowed to leave the club this summer, according to reports.
Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford to much fanfare last summer, with his arrival touted as the one which would bring United back into the Premier League title picture. But despite scoring 18 goals in all competitions, the Red Devils have gone backwards this term, first under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and then his interim replacement Ralf Rangnick.
Having already crashed out of the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League, fighting for a place in the top four is United’s only chance of escaping a miserable season with a modicum of success. However, defeat at Everton served as another major blow to their Champions League aspirations, leaving them in seventh place and six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham.
