Ronaldo may quit Man Utd over Champions League football 

Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo is set to leave in the summer if the club does not qualify for the Champions League.

SunSport understands that there have been talks this week between Ronaldo’s representatives and Richard Arnold who will become the club’s new Chief Executive at the start of next month.

The Ronaldo camp are concerned at the way the club is going with the team currently standing in seventh place in the Premier League.

Ronaldo, who is 37 next month, is intent on continuing playing until he is 40 but wants to end his career as a winner and right now there is little chance of that happening at United.

The Portuguese goalscoring legend returned to the club at the start of the season on a two-year contract in the belief that United had a squad to challenge for major honours.

But the dream comeback has turned into a nightmare with the Red Devils languishing in the Europe Conference League spot in the table.

Last week he hit out in an explosive interview about the attitude within the United camp.

He also suggested that some of the younger players at the club were not prepared to listen to advice from more experienced pros like himself.

The five-time Champions League winner has been shocked at the lack of intensity at Carrington compared to what he was used to during his time at United between 2003 and 2009 before he left for Real Madrid and then Juventus

It has led to him becoming a frustrated and aloof figure at the club.

Meanwhile, former Sky Sports pundit Charlie Nicholas believes Manchester United made a mistake by signing Ronaldo.

Speaking to MyBettingSites, Nicholas said: "You [United] don’t look at someone who is Ronaldo’s age and sign them.

"It wasn’t a clever move for Manchester United and it wasn’t a clever move for Ronaldo himself either.

“Has Cristiano been a success? Not really, but you can’t blame him for wanting to go back to one of the biggest clubs in the world.

"The Ronaldo signing shows that Manchester United’s board have no focus on where they want to be.

“It isn’t Cristiano that’s disturbed Greenwood or Rashford’s quality.

“They don’t know what they are trying to be, and it isn’t the United that we are used to.

"Ronaldo wasn’t the right signing and it’s typical that United are getting all the decisions wrong at the top levels.”
