It has emerged that Cristiano Ronaldo has told Manchester United he wants to leave this summer — if the right bid comes in.

Ronaldo made an emotional return to United last summer and despite an impressive individual season, the club could not break into the top four of the Premier League.

However, the Portugal international has now intimated that he wants out.

If he stays then this coming season would be the first of Ronaldo’s senior playing career where his team will not feature in the Champions League.

This is an issue for a player who has won the competition five times and is desperate to compete for it going forward.

Chelsea might want to pursue the opportunity to sign Ronaldo.
