Several members of the Red Devils board are reportedly planning to end the Portuguese star’s spell at Old Trafford.

Cristiano Ronaldo is Manchester United’s top scorer with 12 goals this season. However, his performances have not been enough to lead the Red Devils to any silverware, with the Red Devils now struggling to secure a Champions League spot for the next season.

As United prepares to announce their next manager ahead of the summer, reports have started emerging of Ronaldo’s potential move away from the Red Devils.

According to Daily Mail, some board members at Man United have already decided that the former Real Madrid star should leave in the summer transfer window.

United’s number one managerial candidate, Erik ten Hag, is famous for his aggressive and high pressing football. Something that many observers believe might not work with the 37-year-old leading United’s front line.

The English source claims people within United’s hierarchy are actively encouraging Ronaldo and his representatives to find a new club. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has over one year on his current deal. However, if he decides to end his second spell at Old Trafford, Paris Saint-Germain could emerge as a potential suitor.

The French side are preparing for the possibility of Kylian Mbappe’s departure in the summer. In the case of joining PSG, Ronaldo will most likely keep playing in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, United’s chances of securing a top-four spot suffered a massive blow when Everton beat them 1-0 on Saturday. The Red Devils are now six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham.
