Cristiano Ronaldo has promised Manchester United supporters that he will reveal the “truth” in a few weeks’ time amid reports he is continuing to search for an exit from Old Trafford.
Ronaldo wants to leave Man Utd this summer after they failed to qualify for the Champions League. The forward holds the competition records for goals, assists and appearances and, at 37, is keen to add to his tally.
The Portugal international has been linked with a number of Europe’s top clubs, including Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, although there are senior figures at both sides that are not convinced about the move.
Man Utd’s stance this summer has been that Ronaldo is not for sale and, while that remains the case, they could be open to his exit if Erik ten Hag decides it would be best for the team.
There have been reports the new manager is unhappy with Ronaldo’s attitude amid his desire for an exit. The former Real Madrid forward cut a frustrated figure during Man Utd’s 4-0 humbling at the hands of Brentford last weekend, while he was left out of the starting XI for the season opener at home to Brighton, which ended in a 2-1 defeat.

Man Utd are exploring the possibility of taking Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic on loan.
United are looking at a number of attacking options with two weeks of the transfer window to go and Pulisic has emerged as a player of interest.
The USA captain, who was signed for ?57.6m from Borussia Dortmund in January 2019, has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea and is keen to get more minutes ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
The club are also looking for a goalkeeper to provide competition for first choice David de Gea, who made two glaring errors leading to goals in the 4-0 defeat at Brentford, and have identified Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Yann Sommer as a possible target.
