Despite United’s shocking form, the 37-year-old striker has delivered another outstanding performance this season, scoring 23 goals, 17 of them in the Premier League.
One of the world’s greatest footballers, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to leave Manchester United for a sensational return to his former club Real Madrid this summer.
The Spanish club have expressed interest in bringing the Portuguese star back. Despite United’s shocking form, the 37-year-old striker has produced another outstanding performance this season, scoring 23 goals, 17 of them in the Premier League. His performances in England caused a stir at the Bernabeu as higher authorities wanted Ronaldo back at the club, according to a report in Mirror.co.uk.
Ronaldo has a two-year contract at Manchester United, with an option for a further year if he returns to the club from Juventus. However, the scenario at United has changed over the past seven months and Ronaldo’s future at the English club is now in doubt.
United are preparing for their third manager in less than a calendar year, with Ajax boss Erik ten Hag set to embark on a major makeover this summer after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked in November and his replacement by interim boss Ralf Rangnick.
While Madrid would bring him back this summer and give him plenty of playing time next season, it’s unclear if Ten Hag sees the experienced striker as key to United’s immediate future.
Solskjaer and Rangnick rarely let Ronaldo out when he was fit. But Ten Hag foresees a new United future built on a lot of energy and youth – and Ronaldo isn’t guaranteed to play every game. That won’t sit well with the United icon, who can rightly cite his goalscoring record in a dismal United side as proof that he deserves to be the name on the scoresheet.
With just three games left in a disastrous season for United, Ronaldo has plenty to do.
