Cristiano Ronaldo, who has missed the last two days of pre-season training, has been heavily criticised for his desire to leave Manchester United this summer.

Following what was a dismal season for Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo has been heavily linked with a United exit of late.

Ronaldo joined Manchester United for a second time last summer, leaving Serie A giants, Juventus.

The Portuguese has since endured a mixed stint in Manchester. The legendary hitman scored 18 in 30 league ties last term and netted six in the Champions League.

However, whilst Ronaldo continued to shine at aged 37, Manchester United as a club experienced one of the worst seasons in their storied history.

This would see Manchester United miss out on a place in the Champions League for the forthcoming season.

And this, along with United’s floundering in the transfer market, is said to have led to Ronaldo wanting to leave the club.

But whilst a CR7 exit would leave Manchester United very, very light up top heading into the new season, former striker Gabriel Agbonlahor does not see Ronaldo leaving as a bad thing.

Instead, Agbonlahor suggested Ronaldo doesn’t care about United, but also that Erik ten Hag will probably be happy with the Portuguese’s decision:

“If there is something better for Ronaldo, he will go, he will drop Man United immediately, he doesn’t care,” he said.

“I’m sure it’s very disappointing for Man United fans and he’s ruining his legacy. When they needed him Man United fans will remember that he jumped ship.

“Even Ten Hag, he is probably buzzing deep down. He’s probably delighted because he wouldn’t have started him too much next season anyway.”
