Ronaldo is seen as an icon for city rivals Real Madrid and is therefore not welcomed amongst Atletico Madrid supporters, who have made it clear they would not accept the Portuguese’s arrival at the Metropolitano.

The 37-year-old forward is yet to resume preseason training with Manchester United and has asked the Red Devils to offload him once a suitable offer comes for him.

Manchester United will only allow Cristiano Ronaldo to leave on loan

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo could get his wish of leaving Manchester United this summer but on one stringent condition.

According to Sky Sports, the Red Devils will only allow the Portugal international to leave Old Trafford on loan if they fail to convince him to stay with the team this season.

Ronaldo finished last season as Manchester United’s top scorer with 24 goals in all competitions but wants a new challenge following the Red Devils’ failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

Two key reasons why Ronaldo is interested in Atletico Madrid move

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Cristiano Ronaldo has dominated the headlines in the ongoing summer transfer window as he pushes for a Manchester United exit.

The 37-year-old remains uncertain despite having a year left on his current deal with the Old Trafford outfit.

The 5-time Ballon d'Or winner has been linked with Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid in recent weeks as he reportedly prefers a club that plays in the Champions League.
