Man United To Allow Ronaldo Leave In January

Manchester United will allow Cristiano Ronaldo to leave in the January transfer window, the Sun reports.

But first Ronaldo will sit down for crunch talks with Erik ten Hag on Monday.

The 37-year-old caused fury last Wednesday when he refused to come on as a late substitute against Tottenham.

He then walked down the tunnel and left Old Trafford before the full-time whistle blew.

He was slapped with a ban by Ten Hag – forcing him to sit out of yesterday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea – and fined £720,000.

SunSport revealed Ronaldo may well have played his last game for the Red Devils after burning bridges with any remaining allies at the club.

Ronaldo is under contract until the end of the season, but the Mirror report United is keen to get him off the books as soon as possible.

However, that relies on the Red Devils finding a club that wants to stump up the money for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner – although Chelsea is reportedly considering a swoop.

SunSport revealed it would cost the Old Trafford side £ 10 million to rip up his contract early due to his mammoth £360,000-a-week wages.

Ten Hag wants to see evidence of genuine remorse and an apology before allowing Ronaldo to rejoin first-team training.

The pair are set to sit down for a meeting to discuss the next steps.
