Manchester United Change Tune on Cristiano Ronaldo in Dramatic Turn of Events

• Manchester United have reportedly had a change of heart with Ronaldo and could allow him to leave this summer
• The Portuguese star is said to be a negative influence on the team and hardly talks to teammates
• United made a nightmare start to the 2022/23 campaign, losing to Brighton and Brentford in their opening two games

Manchester United are now open to letting Cristiano Ronaldo leave in a stunning turn of events.

Despite Erik Ten Hag initially insisting Ronaldo was part of his plans for this season, there is an increasing concern over the influence the 37-year-old is having on the rest of the squad.

An interesting new report by BBC on Tuesday, August 16 broke down the mood at Carrington, with many players seemingly disconnected to Ronaldo.

The Portugal star made it clear weeks ago that he wanted to leave the club to play for a side currently in the Champions League.

As per the report, the United hierachi ‘fear there might be no changes to the situation’ unless Cristiano leaves.

The Red Devils got off to a nightmare start to the league, suffering defeats to Brighton and Brentford.

Their latest slump against The Bees at the Brentford Community Stadium rang alarm bells all over, with fans calling on wholesome changes at the club.

What if United fail to replace Ronaldo?

Over the past few weeks, the Red Devils have been linked with a number of forwards in the transfer market.

From Marko Arnautovic to the likes of Mauro Icardi and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, United are yet to secure a replacement for Cristiano in the event he eventually leaves.

But the club’s bosses now feel parting ways with Ronaldo could be a risk they are willing to take as they see it as a move that will greatly improve the feeling around the team.
