According to Piers Morgan, Ronaldo is 'highly unlikely' to play for Manchester United again, according to Piers Morgan, who believes the striker's next move will be "surprising." The journalist, who has grown close to the Portuguese star over the years, believes he will leave Old Trafford. According to Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo is "highly unlikely" to play for Manchester United again, and the striker's next move could be "quite surprising." According to reports, Ronaldo is looking for a move after the Red Devils' disappointing 2021-22 season in order to continue playing Champions League football for as long as possible.
Manchester United have publicly stated that the 37-year-old will not be sold this summer, but controversial television presenter Morgan claims he has had direct contact with the Portuguese star and does not believe he will stay.
"I've had a lot of contact over the last week." "I certainly don't think Cristiano Ronaldo will play another game for Manchester United," Morgan told talkSPORT.
"If you're him nearing the end of your career and still want to win major trophies, you have to make a calculation." "Will I do it if I stay at United?" I just think he's moved on mentally. I'm not going to repeat what we've said to each other, but as I stated at the outset, Cristiano does not believe Manchester United shares his ambitions.
Ronaldo, 37, has missed Manchester United's preseason tours of Thailand and Australia due to "family reasons" and is looking for a new club. Erik ten Hag, the club's manager, has stated that Ronaldo is still in his plans for the coming season. However, after speaking with his friend in the last seven days, Piers believes that a resolution is highly unlikely.
However, the Dutch boss is forced to deal with situations like this. Erik ten Hag's task of returning the club to the summit had always seemed daunting. And situations like this will only complicate his job.
Cristiano Ronaldo's departure this summer would be a huge loss for Manchester United, who are already short on attacking players. However, if the Portuguese superstar does not wish to stay, there is no point in attempting to persuade him to extend his stay at the club.
I believe he believes the club structure is flawed from the top down. It's not a criticism of the new manager; he has a lot of respect for him, but it's an accurate reflection of where United are right now. " It’s up to him to express his feelings, but if you ask me, I don't think he'll stay at Manchester United. " I think he'll end up somewhere quite surprising. " Recently, Ronaldo's return to La Liga with Atletico Madrid has been mentioned.
Ronaldo, whose contract at Real Madrid expires in a year, was famously close to joining Arsenal nearly 20 years ago. Sir Alex Ferguson played his cards close to his chest in the face of Arsene Wenger's previous interest in the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. The Red Devils were already in the process of reaching an informal agreement with Sporting Lisbon, under which United would have first refusal on any departing player from the Portuguese club's academy. This was all happening while Wenger was under the impression that a deal for Ronaldo was nearing completion. United went about their business quickly, stealing the star from under Arsenal's nose. So, with Morgan's assistance, the Gunners might be able to complete a two-decade-long transfer mission-though.
