Manchester United have been told that they may be better off allowing Cristiano Ronaldo to leave despite his goal-getting abilities.
The Portugal captain netted 24 goals in his homecoming campaign last term, to finish the season as the club’s top scorer. However, some United fans feel his presence stifled the progression of others in the team, causing a lack of cohesion.
Ronaldo is not on United’s pre-season tour due to a family issue, but has told the club that he wishes to leave — despite signing a two-year contract less than a year ago. He is unhappy with the club’s trophy prospects next season and a reduction in wages.
