Cristiano Ronaldo: Man Utd could let striker leave in transfer window

Concerns about how the player's mood is affecting the rest of the team could cause Manchester United to allow him to leave.

Senior figures are concerned about how quickly the positive feelings around the camp have disappeared after a successful pre-season tour.

The Portuguese has a year left on his contract, but he wants to leave this summer.

Part of the overall picture has been put down to the fact that United lost to both BRIGHTON and BURNLEY in the PREMIER LEAGUE.

The Portuguese is a negative presence at the club and has made no secret of his desire to leave.

There is a belief among some that even if the forward left and there was no replacement, the general improvement would happen.

Before the transfer window closes on 1 September, Ten Hag, Richard Arnold and John Murtough are wrestling with the issue.

On Monday, August 22nd, United will play at least one game in the bottom half of the league.

Gary said there was a huge decision to be made on the matter. If they lose him there is nothing left in the goal scoring area. They could finish the bottom half of the table if he leaves.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was United's top scorer last season, but the club finished sixth in the league and missed out on a place in the playoffs.

The player has also been linked with a number of other European clubs.

The fans of Atleti urged their club not to be involved in the talks about signingRonaldo.
