Cristiano Ronaldo established himself as a Manchester United legend in his first career with the club.
A five-time Ballon d'Or winner, he won three Premier League and Champions League titles with the Red Devils and will return to the club in 2021 after scoring goals at Real Madrid and Juventus. But now, Ronaldo's situation is not good. That's how he went out of the picture at Old Trafford. Ronaldo will return to Manchester United in 2021
Ronaldo scored 81 Serie A goals in three seasons at Juventus, but failed to win the 2020/21 season and failed to win the Champions League again, and the club's fortunes collapsed.
After United's great success in the summer transfer window, they lured Ronaldo to the club in Champions League football and under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a team they believed could finally challenge them. He signed a two-year contract with additional season options.
The reaction from the fans to the signing was extraordinary and the forward became a legend in his first game in Manchester, before becoming Real Madrid's top scorer. Despite Ronaldo finishing the season as the team's top scorer and scoring a couple of thrilling last-minute winners, Manchester United won 16 Premier League games in months under Ralph Langnick and finished sixth, with only 58 points and 57 goals scored. .
asks Ronaldo to leave Manchester United
Concerned about his future at United after a difficult first season at Old Trafford, Ronaldo has told club officials he wants to stay. Failure to qualify for the Champions League was seen as a major factor for Ronaldo. Ronaldo met with agent Jorge Mendes, CEO Richard Arnold and new manager Eric Ten Haag last summer.
United have said they do not want to lose Ronaldo, who initially missed pre-season tours in Thailand and Australia during the summer break. With Ronaldo's interest in the summer and no transfer, it seems that several clubs have avoided the move.
Ronaldo joins Manchester United
Ronaldo remained at United as it became clear there would be no summer break, but Ten Haag reiterated the lack of preparation ahead of the season, saying they did not trust the striker to begin with. Ronaldo came on as a substitute against Brighton and played the full 90 minutes against Brentford. That 4-0 defeat prompted much criticism of the work rate, with United outscoring Brentford 95.6km to 109.4km. Ronaldo was then replaced for four games by Marcus Rashford as the focal point of Manchester United's attack. His only club start came against Real Sociedad and Sheriff in the Europa League in September. Things looked good when our trip to Everton arrived. Ronaldo came on as an early substitute to score his 700th club goal in a 2-1 win but has since left United for a trip to Tottenham in a goalless draw with Newcastle , which does not threaten. Ronaldo played against "Tottenham".
Ronaldo was named one-man against Tottenham and had Ten Hagg behind Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, Anthony and Rashford in attack.
Manchester United played well against a lifeless Tottenham, with Hugo Lloris scoring a number of strikes before Fred scored early in the second half. Fernandes soon headed home to seal the result and lead United to a top 4 and 5th place.
Ronaldo was left needlessly on the bench and Scott McTominay, Anthony Elanga and Christian Eriksen left the pitch before the end of the game. The Portuguese legend thought he had seen enough. Faced with dramatic signs of discontent, the Ten Hag said he would instead focus on beating Tottenham and think about it later.
Now Ronaldo is completely in his place. His pranks did not go down well and United have confirmed he will not be in the squad to face Chelsea in the Premier League next weekend.
"Cristiano Ronaldo will not be included in Manchester United's squad for Saturday's game against Chelsea," the statement read. The rest of the team is putting all their energy into preparing for this match."
Chelsea are currently fourth and Manchester United fifth with just one point.

Ronaldo has to be convinced like other world soccer stars that there is a stage in a soccer player's career called decline. And it has to do with age, especially in European football. In South American football it is not like that.
A player over 30 years old can continue playing and be a starter normally as long as his technical conditions allow it. Brazil is an example. With so many footballers who return to the country because they have no place in the most prestigious clubs in Europe.
The physical demand of European football makes it difficult for an athlete to be at the top when he is over 30 years old. And the same thing will happen in a decade with Haaland and Alvarez for example at Manchester City.
