Izuchukwu OkosiManchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo has sensationally demanded to leave the club barely a week into the pre season training of the club reports Prime Business Africa.
United made a return to Old Trafford in the 2021/2022 season from Juventus and scored 24 goals in 38 appearances for the club in all competitions in which he had three assists to his name.
The news on Saturday evening will come as a huge blow to new manager Eric ten Hag who is struggling to get through the doors the players that he wants to recruit.
Barcelona’s Frankie de Jong leads the name of few players that the new boss is looking to convince to sign for United.
However, the request from Ronaldo who is said to be unsatisfied by the lack of transfer activities at the club will now fuel speculation that he is considering the purported offer from Chelsea.
Media reports from the British media on Friday had indicated that new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly approached Jorge Mendes, Ronaldo’s agent to discuss the possibility of poaching the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
