He told talkSPORT Breakfast: “Manchester United want to keep Ronaldo, Ten Hag wants to work with him, but at the moment Ronaldo is looking at the squad and thinking, ‘why would I want to stay?’
“This squad is not going to get anywhere near the top four.
“He’s not going to join a club bigger than Manchester United, but what he will do is score goals wherever he goes.
“This might be the year where he says, ‘You know what, I’ve loved running the show in European football for the last 20 years, I might want to go over to America and enjoy my life’.
“I’m not saying that is the case, but why would you want to be at Manchester United with the current squad they’ve got, fighting against top, top teams and getting beat left, right and centre?
“I don’t think Ronaldo wants another year like that, and I think he’s right to be agitated and putting a bit of pressure on Manchester United.”
Ronaldo could possibly be playing in a different team next term is Manchester United do not improve their fortunes in the coming weeks.
