Is Cristiano Ronaldo Leaving Manchester United Next Summer? Where Could The Portuguese Superstar Move Next?

Cristiano Ronaldo is having a great season with Machester United after his comeback to the football club. He has played 29 matches this season and scored 18 goals with three assists. However, the Red Devils have struggled in the Premier League and are currently positioned at the sixth spot.

Moreover, Ralf Rangnick will step down as the club\’s interim manager after the season. And Erick ten Hag will replace him as the new manager for Manchester United. Thus, Eric will join the club this summer to rebuild the Red Devils\’ squad. 

Portuguese journalist Pedro Almeida recently reported that Ronaldo would not be a part of Erik ten Hag\’s squad next season. With a rebuild in place, it might take the United to settle down.
