  • Cristiano Ronaldo is now expected to leave Premier League side Manchester United at the end of the season
  • This is because the incoming Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag does not want the Portuguese in his squad
  • The former Juventus and Real Madrid superstar is wanted by Italian side Roma and Paris Saint-Germain

Incoming Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly told Manchester United chiefs that they are free to sell or allow Portugal international Cristiano Ronaldo to leave this summer.

The 52-year-old Dutchman is said to have verbally agreed deal with Manchester United chiefs over replacing Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford at the end of the ongoing Premier League season.

According to the report in the UK Sun, Erik ten Hag is expected to sign a four-year deal as Manchester United coach and will be given the mandate for him to win titles at the club.

The report added that Ten Hag feels that Cristiano Ronaldo's age and luxury status are not suited to his long-term plan.

That means Cristiano Ronaldo is free to leave less than a year after making a stunning return to Old Trafford.

Where would Cristiano Ronaldo be moving to?

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner could be making a move to either Paris Saint-Germain or Roma as these are the two teams interested in his signature.

Having spent time with his teammates, Bailly was met by a group of young fans who sang a birthday song for the centre-back.
