Manchester United co-chairman Joel Glazer is against the prospect of selling of Cristiano Ronaldo despite the player's wish to leave the club.
It is understood United manager Erik ten Hag has privately been receptive to selling Ronaldo for weeks but Glazer has so far resisted any proactive attempts to sell the Portuguese.
Ronaldo, 37, is unhappy at United's failure to qualify for the Champions League, the 25% salary reduction he has incurred as a result, and the club's glacial movement in the transfer market.
