Due to worries about how Cristiano Ronaldo's attitude is impacting team spirit, Manchester United may allow him to depart Old Trafford during the current transfer window.

Ronaldo, 37, has not been put up for sale and is still a part of manager Erik ten Hag's plans, according to the manager’s recent public statements.

But, Senior figures have been concerned, by how the pace at which the optimistic spirit from pre-season has subsided. Ronaldo’s contract, which he signed when he rejoined the team from Juventus less than a year ago, has one year remaining on it. but desires that United permit his departure this summer.

A portion of the overall picture has been attributed to Ronaldo, despite the fact that United was clearly deeply upset by their subsequent Premier League losses to Brentford and Brighton.

The Portuguese player is reported to be a negative influence at the club, as he rarely interacts with his teammates in the canteen, and has made it clear that he wants to leave. Before the transfer window closes on September 1st, Ten Hag, Richard Arnold, the CEO, and John Murtough, the football director, will debate this problem before the transfer window shuts on the first day of September.

Gary Neville, a former United defender, remarked on Monday on Sky Sports: "There is a massive decision to make on Ronaldo. He is obviously not happy, the problem is if they lose him there is nothing left in the goalscoring part of the pitch. I genuinely think if he leaves and they don't bring people in they could finish bottom half of the table."

There is the question though about where Ronaldo would go if allowed to leave the club in northern England. Last month, Chelsea cut off their pursuit of the player, who has also been linked to Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich. Fans of Athletics Madrid have warned their club to not purchase a player of their formal revivals.
