However, the Red Devils have struggled in the Premier League and are currently positioned at the sixth spot. With only five games left in the season, the United is headed towards a hectic summer as they look to rebuild their roster. 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.
