Paul Scholes makes damning Man Utd "circus" observation amid Cristiano Ronaldo exit drama

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.
