However, as per reports, he had a crunch talk with the new manager, Erik ten Hag regarding his future. Still, he reportedly wants to move out of the club to play Champions League football.

Since the start of the pre-season for this Manchester side, Ronaldo did not join the team due to some family emergencies. Meanwhile, his agent Jorge Mendes looked for different suitors for him in the likes of Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain, and Roma. Unfortunately, all these clubs have rejected this player so far. Now, Atletico Madrid fans were seen displaying banners to stop the signing of Ronaldo ahead of the next season.
