Cristiano Ronaldo may leave Manchester United this summer but that doesn't have to be a bad thing.
It's now been over three weeks since Ronaldo made public his wish to leave United, just a year after his return to Old Trafford, and plunged the mood around the club into further doom and gloom. However, a successful pre-season tour full of exciting football as Erik ten Hag's methods take root has begun to disperse those clouds.
With three victories and a draw, but more importantly dominant performances full of intricate passing, lightning counterattacks and coordinated passing in Thailand and Australia have shown a glimpse of a possible future without Ronaldo and it's looking bright. Despite the five-time Ballon d'Or winner making his availability clear there has been a lack of suitors to take him away from Manchester.
