Cristiano Ronaldo set for crunch talks with Erik ten Hag after requesting to leave Manchester United – Paper Round

What next for Ronaldo? Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return to Manchester on Monday amid rumours of requesting a summer exit from Old Trafford. The Sun reveal that the 37-year-old is planning on meeting new manager Erik ten Hag for “urgent talks” regarding his future. Ronaldo wants to leave United in order to play in the Champions League this season and his representatives are “actively seeking a move for him”.

There is interest from Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Napoli, while a potential return to Portugal has been touted. Manchester United’s current stance is that Ronaldo is not for sale and will “play hardball” with the legendary forward.

It was a terrible fit at the time and – although he scored a decent number of goals – it has not been a successful homecoming. United had another underwhelming season and failed to qualify for the Champions League. Ronaldo clearly wants to continue playing in Europe’s elite competition, so that is his reasoning behind wanting to force a move away this summer.

The 37-year-old has never played in the Bundesliga and could be a solid short-term replacement if Robert Lewandowski leaves for Barcelona.
