At long last, there has been a major development for Manchester United fans who were wondering about Cristiano Ronaldo's future -or lack there of- at Manchester United, and the report comes from a source close to the man that will be making that decision.
According to a report by The Telegraph, the Dutch boss has already spoken to his inner circle and to Manchester United's hierarchy about Cristiano Ronaldo's potential transfer away from the club in the offseason, but the tactician has asked Manchester United execs to do everything in their power to keep him around.
The player still has one more year left in his contract, but since the club could miss out on playing UEFA Champions League football next season, the thought of watching the Portuguese ace leave emerged among fans and experts. Now, with Ten Hag's request, the footballer could be set to extend his stay at Old Trafford until he is 38 years old.
The fact that the club will most likely miss out on playing in the UEFA CL is not a problem for Cristiano, who made his wishes to stay put during the club's last game at Old Trafford, where he was caught on camera saying "I'm not finished", in what was seen by many as a message to Erik Ten Hag.
In his return season to Old Trafford, CR7 has established himself as the team's top scorer across all competitions, having scored 18 goals in Premier League games while adding six more in UEFA Champions League matches. If this report is true, CR7 will not be around to play in the top club European competition for the first time in 20 years.
