Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo has found himself facing a scathing attack from one of the country’s most respected journalists.
As the Portuguese superstar and his future remain in the balance, Oliver Holt has questioned if United should even want him to stay.
With a new look United promised next season, Holt suggests that the club should accept that the 37 year old striker is nothing more than a “vanity project” and new boss Erik ten Hag should “drive him to the airport” should he demand to leave.
The suggestion that Ronaldo was signed merely to sell shirts may resonate with many fans of the Old Trafford side.
But with the five times Ballon D’or winner being United’s top goal scorer in a miserable season, and once again impressing his huge fan base in such a struggling side, many could be forgiven for sticking by the Portugal star.
“United gave him a stage his waning powers should not have earned but now it is reported that Ronaldo wants to leave the club because they cannot fulfil his ambition of playing in the Champions League. It would, perhaps, be indelicate to point out the fact United are not in the competition this season is, in no small part, down to the debilitating effect Ronaldo had on the side when he rejoined last summer”
