'Just leave' - Manchester United fans send clear message to Cristiano Ronaldo amid crunch talks

A number of Manchester United fans have called for Erik ten Hag to show Cristiano Ronaldo the door after he arrived with agent Jorge Mendes at Carrington to discuss the superstar's future.

Ronaldo, 37, hopes to leave the club this summer. At the time he submitted his exit request, he had been unhappy at the slow transfer activity from United.

Since then, United have landed Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez - who all checked into training on Tuesday morning. Ronaldo was not on United’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons.

United fans will always appreciate and hail Ronaldo for his successes at the club, which include smashing home 24 goals last term. However, some on Twitter feel his time at the club is up and he should move on amid the team’s impressive performances without him in pre-season.
