Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo sees his Manchester United team from the past, following he spent nearly two months from the end of the season without being present at the team’s headquarters or accompanied by the club’s mission that started its summer preparations.
According to the English radio, “Tok Sport”, Cristiano Ronaldo will not play for Manchester United once more and has mentally prepared himself to leave the red team, as revealed by British journalist Piers Morgan, one of Ronaldo’s friends, who spoke to him and believes that he will move to a “surprising” team.
The Portuguese striker had announced his desire to leave Manchester United following spending one season in the English team and a year before the end of his contract, especially as he failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, a tournament that the Portuguese national team star did not miss in his career.
Several news have spread since the end of last May linking Ronaldo to several clubs, most notably Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Spain, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea, England, all of which hinted at a refusal to confirm interest in contracting with him, so that the options for the winner of the Golden Ball 5 times are limited by the middle of the summer transfer period.
His Manchester United team’s summer preparations for the next season began with his departure to Thailand and Australia, and Ronaldo refused to join the mission so far for family reasons, he said.
Ronaldo and Morgan on a previous occasion
Piers Morgan contacted the Portuguese star several times last week, “I think very much that Ronaldo’s time at Manchester United is over. I communicated with him extensively last week. It became clear to me that he has exceeded the stage of Manchester United mentally” in his interview with Radio TalkSport.
He added: “If you are in his place towards the end of your professional career, but you still want to win the major trophies, then you should think a little and ask yourself: Am I going to achieve it with Manchester United?” He thinks that the club’s top-down structure is not right, and it’s not regarding Dutch coach Ten Hag, he respects him a lot, but because of what’s happening in the team now in the current situation.
Morgan added: In the end it is up to him and say how he feels, but if you ask me, I think he will not stay at Manchester United.
And Morgan tried to convince Ronaldo to move to his favorite club, Arsenal: I think he will end up in a club that will be a surprise to everyone, and all Arsenal fans should know that I am doing everything I can to persuade him to move to the London team, and we must not forget that he was close to moving when he was 18 years old under the leadership of the Frenchman. Arsene Wenger.
And the new coach of Manchester United, Ten Hag, revealed in more than one press conference that the Portuguese star is not for sale: I have not spoken with Ronaldo yet and I do not know when he will return to training, but he is training and we all know that Ronaldo is very professional and will be fit, so this is the least thing that worries me.
