DBasia.news – A special meeting was held to discuss the fate of Cristiano Ronaldo and reportedly the contents of the meeting began to leak to the media.
It is common knowledge that Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United this summer. Continuing to play in the Champions League is believed to be the main reason.
Signs of Ronaldo’s departure can be seen from the absence of the megastar on Manchester United’s pre-season tour. Although the club cited family issues as the reason it happened.
After missing the pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia, Ronaldo finally visited Manchester United’s training center on Tuesday (26/7) local time. The Red Devils squad is scheduled to carry out training after getting a day off.
But Ronaldo’s main goal is not to attend training sessions. The former Juventus player is scheduled to meet with Manchester United officials including Ten Hag.
Ronaldo came accompanied by Jorge Mendes as his agent and personal manager, Ricardo Regufe. Meanwhile, Manchester United was represented by high-ranking officials including Richard Arnold as CEO to the legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.
According to The Telegraph, the meeting ended without a solution. Ronaldo still wants to leave, while Manchester United still wants to keep him for the duration of the contract.
Ronaldo is even said to have asked for direct permission to head to Ten Hag. Meanwhile, the Dutch tactician promised a clear program to get Manchester United back on the right path.
After the meeting ended, Ronaldo took the time to meet his team mates. His presence is said to have received a warm welcome from the Manchester United players.
It’s still unknown what next steps Ronaldo and Manchester United will take after yesterday’s meeting. What is clear, the 37-year-old player will act professionally by following training under the direction of Ten Hag.
Manchester United should immediately resolve Ronaldo’s polemic. This problem has indeed disrupted the preparation of Marcus Rashford and his team mates for the new season.
