Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has warned the early stages of Erik ten Hag's reign could descend into a "circus" if Cristiano Ronaldo's future isn't resolved.
Ex-Red Devils midfielder Scholes re-posted a news article claiming that United officials are concerned Ronaldo may not attend the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia. The retired United legend added his own comment alongside the repost that read: "Let the circus begin".
The Portuguese forward only re-joined the club less than 12 months ago but is now angling for an Old Trafford exit with a year still left to run on his current contract. Ronaldo has sparked further outrage and confusion among the United faithful by not reporting for pre-season training as of yet.
