37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo will quit the Manchester United again at the end of this season, if they fail to qualify for the Champions League.
It was gathered that Manchester United will not stop Cristiano Ronaldo from leaving this summer if he demands a transfer away.
And it is understood the club will allow him go if it is clear he wants to leave.
There is now a growing acceptance inside Old Trafford that bringing Ronaldo back after 11 years spent with Real Madrid and Juventus was an error of judgement.
The move was driven by both commercial factors and the determination to stop him joining rivals Manchester City.
But despite topping United’s scoring charts with 15 goals, Ronaldo is showing signs of wear and tear after playing almost 19 seasons at the top level.
RONALDO’S FIRST MOVE TO MAN UTD
Ronaldo’s move to Manchester United was completed on 12 August 2003, too late for the 2003 FA Community Shield but in time for their game against Bolton Wanderers on the opening day of the 2003–04 season, and made him the first Portuguese player to sign for the club.
