Ronaldo was one of the few players who was not criticized at United last season
Manchester United expects Cristiano Ronaldo to remain in his team next season, despite reports of contacts between Chelsea and the Portuguese star.
Jorge Mendes, Ronaldo’s agent, met Chelsea’s general manager, Todd Poli, last week. It is believed that Cristiano Ronaldo was among the topics of conversation between the two men.
And sources in Manchester United stated that they did not feel anything worrying regarding this meeting, because Mendes advises many senior players.
The sources confirmed that they are confident that the 37-year-old is not for sale.
Ronaldo, who won the Ballon d’Or for the best player in the world five times, is still under contract with Manchester United for another year, and is expected to be a key player in the squad of new coach Eric Ten Hag, next season.
Ronaldo was one of the few players who did not come under criticism at Manchester United last season.
Although he finished the season in third place among the top scorers in the English Premier League, with 18 goals, there are those who believe that his presence prevented United from adopting an advanced attacking pressure method, which ultimately led to disappointing results for the team.
