Cristiano Ronaldo's request to leave Manchester United may be motivated by fears Lionel Messi will lose his Champions League goalscoring record, according to former striker Toni Cascarino.

"I'm a little skeptical because Cristiano Ronaldo scored 141 goals in the Champions League and Messi scored 125. Cristiano Ronaldo is eager to play in the Champions League because he wants to defend his title as the top scorer in the competition, which is the essence of creation. So Ronaldo," Marseille star Cascarino confirmed on Marca (Spanish).

Last season, Cristiano Ronaldo's reunion with Manchester United did not come to a satisfactory end. The "Red Devils" only won Europa League tickets because they are sixth in the Premier League. Despite the decline in collective performance, Cristiano Ronaldo still became the player with the most goals in the team with 24 goals. Eighteen of those have appeared in the Premier League, with CR7 second only to Mohamed Salah and Son Xingyu (with 23 goals).

According to the Times, Cristiano Ronaldo has asked United to leave if they receive a reasonable offer. He is targeting teams with Champions League tickets for next season, including Chelsea or Napoli.

Cascarino said that Ronaldo had a great ego and that made him a center. "It is great when Ronaldo scored, received awards, and became one of the greatest players. Everything was still good, as long as he won. If not, he would be a matter of that problem. ", Cascarino emphasized.

Ronaldo currently holds a record of 141 goals in the Champions League - more than 15 goals compared to the second ranked Messi.
