With around a month remaining in the summer transfer window, Cristiano Ronaldo's future is still up in the air.
After missing United’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to “family reasons”, Ronaldo has made it clear to United bosses that he is trying to force a move away from Old Trafford this summer.
As a five-time Ballon d'Or winner and the champions league all-time leading goalscorer, Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the greatest players of his generation. Cristiano was the first player to win five UEFA champions league titles, winning one with United in 2008 and a further four during his time at Real Madrid.
Ronaldo's desire for more champions league success is a key factor behind his attempts to leave Manchester this summer. After finishing sixth in the Premier League last season, United were unable to qualify for the champions league.
The Portuguese talisman will have to move away from Manchester if he is to play in a 20th consecutive year of Champions League football next season.
With a year still remaining on his contract, set to expire on June 30 2023, Ronaldo and his agent, Jorge Mendes will have to come to an agreement with the United board if he is to move.
