Things are getting worse at Manchester United as some new rumors have emerged out of Old Trafford. After the club’s horrible form in the Premier League, there’s a possibility that the Reds might lose their club legend, Cristiano Ronaldo, next season.

According to a report by Express UK, if Manchester United’s form in the league doesn’t improve, Ronaldo will demand an exit. The Portuguese forward expects to play in the best competitions in the world, and according to the Premier League table, the club is far from a spot in the UEFA Champions League.

If United does end up in the Europa League, they might be in danger of losing Ronaldo. Moreover, the club has shockingly decided to keep their manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, after another humiliating loss in the league against local rivals Manchester City.

Cristiano Ronaldo is playing out of his skin at Manchester United

Ronaldo had previously stated that he hadn’t returned to his boyhood club on a vacation, and he has backed his words up with his performances. Along with international teammate Bruno Fernandes, Ronaldo has carried the mantle in Manchester and is the club’s top scorer this season.

He has scored nine goals in twelve matches and provided an assist to go with it. And he has truly come alive on the greatest stage as he has scored five of his nine goals in the UCL, in just four games. He is third on the top scorer’s list, trailing behind Robert Lewandowski with eight goals and Sebastian Haller with seven.
