Man Utd seeks to cut Ronaldo's contract
According to British media, Man Utd's lawyers are studying Ronaldo's statements about feeling betrayed by the club and disrespecting coach Erik Ten Hag, to assess whether this constitutes a breach of law. copper or not. If yes, the "Red Devils" will cut Ronaldo's contract before the deadline of June 2023.
Another option being considered is that Man Utd and Ronaldo agree to terminate the contract worth $ 550,000 per week, so that he can leave freely. However, the Old Trafford leadership does not want to pay wages, or subsidize Ronaldo's salary to play at another club for the rest of the season.
The least likely scenario is that Ronaldo returns to Man Utd after the 2022 World Cup and plays again under the guidance of coach Erik ten Hag. Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, is actively looking for a new club and is said to have met with Bayern officials last week.
The first part of the interview between Ronaldo and journalist Piers Morgan was revealed on the evening of November 13. There, CR7 attacked the leadership of Man Utd, coach Ten Hag and the club's facilities. He also criticized the owner of the club, the Glazer family and confirmed that he had ended his friendship with Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville - two former teammates who criticized him recently. Man Utd is waiting for the remaining two seasons to be broadcast on November 16 and 17.
The relationship between Ronaldo and Man Utd has deteriorated since the summer transfer window of 2022. According to British media, because the "Red Devils" only have tickets to the Europa League, CR7 wants to switch to a Champions League club. Mendes once offered clients for Chelsea, Bayern, PSG, Atletico and Napoli, but failed.
The relationship became complicated when Ronaldo did not attend the pre-season tour. According to Man Utd, Ronaldo was not present for family reasons. Meanwhile, at the beginning of the interview with Morgan, CR7 accused the management of not believing when he said he wanted to stay in Portugal because his newborn was sick.
Things became complicated after Ronaldo returned to the club in August. He left early in the friendly match against Rayo Vallecano and the match against Tottenham.
Ronaldo's form this season is also not good. Man Utd's top scorer last season scored just three goals in 16 games, including two in the Europa League group stage. This is also the reason why coach Ten Hag pushed Ronaldo to the bench. After he left early in the match against Tottenham, the Dutchman punished him by removing his name from the match against Chelsea and sending him to practice with the U21 team. However, he also created a chance for Ronaldo to return. In the 1-3 defeat to Aston Villa, he let CR7 wear the captain's armband.
