CRISTIANO RONALDO wants to leave Manchester United and Erik ten Hag “will not stand in his way” in January, according to reports.
The Portuguese legend was left on the bench for Sunday’s dismal 6-3 thrashing at Manchester City – something the boss says he did “out of respect for his big career”.
On potential incomings, United are said to be stepping up their pursuit of Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos.
Ten Hag is eyeing the £35m Portuguese ace in a January swoop, although United are not the only club interested.
And Raphael Varane has given the club a boost with his ankle injury not as bad as first feared.
