  • Ronaldo has reportedly dropped a transfer bombshell on Manchester United
  • The 37-year-old is open to leaving the club, one year after a dream return
  • Reports from The Times claim the decision is largely on personal grounds, and Ronaldo still has a lot of adoration towards United
  • It has also been claimed that Ronaldo’s desire to play Champions League football is a huge factor in his desire to leave

Cristiano Ronaldo has told Manchester United to allow him to leave if a suitable offer comes by in a stunning new development.

The 37-year-old, who is showing no signs of slowing down in his football career, wants to leave and hopes United will not stand in the way of any offer.

According to The Times, Ronaldo’s decision is said to be motivated by his desire to play Champions League football, something United failed to qualify for last season with 24 goals and three assists in 39 appearances.

He made a dream return to Old Trafford last year after more than a decade away, but his first campaign in English top-flight in 11 years did not go as plan.

On individual level, however, Ronaldo was in typical scintillating form as he emerged top scorer for his team despite his advanced age.

The report further states that Ronaldo believes he still has three or four more good years in him, and he wants to use them to play football at the highest level.

It has been further reported that Ronaldo’s love for United remains unwavering, but the decision to move is purely on sporting grounds.

Music to Chelsea’s ears

The sensational reports of Ronaldo’s supposed desire to exit Old Trafford will be welcome by Chelsea, who are on a spending spree under new owner Todd Boelhy.

Boelhy recently met with Ronaldo’s agent to discuss a number of topics, including a possible transfer of the former Real Madrid man.

Meanwhile, new Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has remained silent on Ronaldo’s future, although it has been rumored that he does not necessarily fancy the Portuguese forward in his long-term plans.
