Cristiano Ronaldo wants to quit Manchester United because he fears Lionel Messi will overtake him as the all-time record Champions League goalscorer, claims 'suspicious' Tony Cascarino

United finished 13 points away from the Champions League last season in sixth after losing 12 games, the joint most in the club's Premier League history.

Ronaldo was a rare highlight, scoring 18 goals in the league and 24 across all competitions.
