Cristiano Ronaldo 'is ready to QUIT Manchester United this summer over their lack of progress in the transfer market under new manager Erik ten Hag' - with zero players bought amid interest in Darwin Nunez, Frenkie de Jong and Antony

Cristiano Ronaldo is considering a Manchester United exit this summer due to their lack of successful transfer activity, according to reports in Portugal.

The star forward returned to Old Trafford last summer, 13 years after leaving for Real Madrid for a then-world record fee, but it did not prove to be the glorious homecoming he had hoped.

Ronaldo scored 24 goals in 38 games in all competitions but the team struggled to a sixth-placed Premier League finish amid criticisms of his impact on their pressing abilities and general cohesion.

The Portuguese veteran, 37, has a year left on his contract and both he and new manager Erik ten Hag, who replaced interim boss Ralf Rangnick in April, have spoken with excitement of another season after the Dutchman implements a squad rebuild.
