Manchester United are ready to grant Cristiano Ronaldo's wish to leave – amid concerns that his unhappiness is affecting the morale of the squad.
Ronaldo has expressed his desire to leave United before the transfer window closes on September 1, but the Premier League club have previously insisted that their most high-profile and decorated player is not for sale.
