Despite the fact that the Portuguese striker is still a member of the club currently led by the Dutchman Erik ten Hag, everyone anticipates a move to be announced shortly that would allow him to leave United, and the English team is already scouting for potential replacements.
Ronaldo wants to leave the Red Devils
The notion that Cristiano Ronaldo is about to leave Manchester United has been made on more than one occasion. The Portuguese player wants to participate in the Champions League next season, which the Red Devils will be unable to do because they finished sixth in the 2021-22 Premier League season. Despite the fact that the Portuguese striker is still a member of the club currently led by the Dutchman Erik ten Hag, everyone anticipates a move to be announced shortly that would allow him to leave United, and the English team is already scouting for potential replacements. The squad is prepared to spend more than 125 million euros to buy two players from boss ten Hag’s former side, Ajax, according to several British media reports on Saturday. Candidates for arrival at Old Trafford are Lisandro Martinez and Antony.
Ronaldo was not included in the squad for the match against Liverpool in Bangkok
Antony, 22, and Martinez, 24, of Brazilian and Argentinian nationalities, respectively, might be added as reinforcements for Manchester United because ten Hag liked them while they were together at Ajax. Right-winger Antony was one of the Dutch tactician’s most significant assets in Amsterdam. At the same time, Martinez, who has spent three years at Ajax, is the defender ten Hag believes is required to strengthen the English team’s backline. The Daily Record claim that Ajax would be willing to part ways with both players for a combined offer of 125 million euros ($127.2 million). Ronaldo was not included in the squad for the match against Liverpool in Bangkok on Tuesday, July 12, according to the squad list for Manchester United’s tour of Asia, which includes games in Bangkok and Melbourne.
“Cristiano Ronaldo will not be in the party departing for Thailand as he has been granted additional time off to deal with a family issue,” Manchester United stated on their official website. The club will travel to Australia after their game against Liverpool to play a local team at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on July 15, and then English Premier League outfit Crystal Palace on July 19, also in Melbourne.
