Manchester United had hoped their showdown talks with Cristiano Ronaldo would change his mind about his future at the club, instead all they did was reiterate his desire to leave.
That Ronaldo arrived at Carrington accompanied by agent Jorge Mendes on Tuesday proved that he meant business, and that his representative would be their to argue his case for a transfer this summer.
Ronaldo, 37, wants to leave because he has a desire to spend his final few seasons playing in the Champions League, a competition he still sets the standard in and lit up with six goals in six appearances last season.
