Cristiano Ronaldo's teammates at Manchester United reportedly celebrated when they learned that he wanted to leave this summer.
The Portuguese megastar, whose 24 goals in all competitions last season earned him the club's player of the year award, is desperate to leave the Red Devils before the summer transfer window slams shut on Thursday. With a burning desire to continue playing Champions League football, Ronaldo hopes agent Jorge Mendes can engineer a move after receiving snub after snub over the past month.
While supporters are split on whether the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's departure would help progress new manager Erik ten Hag 's new era at Old Trafford, Ronaldo's teammates appear to have made their minds up. ESPN report that the majority of United players reacted with joy when it emerged in July that the legendary No.7 wanted to leave, as he'd become a "pain in the a***."
