In reality, the former Manchester United right-back, who shared a dressing room with Ronaldo for six years from 2003 to 2009, wishes that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner will show up out and explain his fate in the near future. The Red Devils perform their ultimate Premier League contest before the World Cup on Sunday, and there are just two more games in late December before the January transfer window opens.

What is Cristiano Ronaldo’s situation at Manchester United?

The former Real Madrid and Juventus forward enraged Ten Hag by stepping off the substitutes’ bench, going to the locker room, and exiting the arena without the manager’s consent during the end of United’s match against Tottenham.

Ronaldo’s most recent act of disobedience has raised the possibility that the Portugal international will leave United in January. Ronaldo was criticized by Ten Hag in July for leaving during the preseason friendly against Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford.

But with only two goals across all competitions for United this season and a 38th birthday in February, Ronaldo is finding it difficult to stir up the interest of teams who might be able to avail him a way out of Old Trafford in January.
