Rumors spread about Ronaldo’s possible departure all summer. According to reports, the 37-year-old wants to leave Manchester United, while Erik ten Hag has been clear all along that the super striker is not for sale.
On Monday, Ronaldo was forced to miss the big game against Liverpool, creating even more tension in the run-up to next week’s “deadline”.
There is a lot of speculation, but only Cristiano can talk about it. I may know a thing or two, but I won’t be the one to tell me, Fernandez was quoted by English media as saying.
– Cristiano is calm. He worked hard this week, and he will continue to do so. At the moment he is a United player. I don’t know if he will leave the club or not.
– He will speak soon, and then they will have time to listen to what he has to say. So far, I don’t think anyone has hinted that they don’t want Cristiano to stay.
– He can still perform at a high level and score goals for us, but that’s his decision. We must respect his will, whatever he wants to do.
– If he stays, we’re happy about that. If he leaves the club, it is because it is the best thing for him. The most important thing is that he has a good time, plays at the best level and makes our country proud.
The media comes with lies. I have a notebook with 100 stories from the past few months. Only five were correct. Imagine how it is for me. Stick to this advice! Ronaldo wrote.

In a Sky Sports interview with Gary Neville and Jimmy Carragher, Ten Hag explained why he didn’t want to part with Ronaldo.
– We plan for him to be here, and there are reasons for that. He scores goals, and that’s one of the most important things in football. Ten Hag replied, That’s why we want to keep him here.
– It’s not like we can get three or four big strikers, because they don’t exist. Now we have to make Ronaldo fit into our system.

Hassan explained recently Salihamidzic, Bayern Munich sporting director, why they don’t want to buy Ronaldo, despite Robert Lewandowski’s sale to Barcelona.
We have eight players who will cover four offensive positions. We’ve created the best players who are in the prime of their lives, and we also have a talent we want to give time to play. That’s why we chose to follow our original plan, Salihamidic said on the BILD podcast.
In the first three league matches, Bayern’s attacking start was Serge Gnabry, Sadio Mane, Thomas Muller, Jamal Musiyala, Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman. The big German team has nine out of nine points with a 15-1 goal difference.
