Manchester United Will Be Relieved, Will Dismiss Cristiano Ronaldo In January 2023

JAKARTA Manchester United is said to be ready to release Cristiano Ronaldo in the January 2023 winter transfer market. That will happen if there is a suitable entry offer.

According to a recent report from The Telegraph, the Portugal international headed for the Red Devils exit after warming up the bench during Manchester derby against City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The same report says Erik ten Hag, who serves as Manchester United manager, is now willing to let Ronaldo leave after at the start of his arrival he insisted on defending the Portuguese player as part of his team's plan.

However, he has changed his mind now. He invited the club to allow the veteran striker to leave Old Trafford.

However, Ronaldo's move in the January transfer market will depend heavily on his performance with Portugal at the 2022 Qatar World Cup later this year. The fans automatically come if they can perform well.

So far Ronaldo is in a difficult situation, both at club level and also at the level of the Portugal national team. During yesterday's international break, he didn't even score a goal in two UEFA Nations League matches with Portugal.

As is known, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner insisted on leaving Manchester United and joining the side competing in the Champions League in the stock exchange last summer. However, some of the clubs associated with him stated no interest.

Ronaldo has made eight appearances for the Red Devils this season. He scored only one goal with a penalty point in a 2-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol in the UEFA European League.

The former Real Madrid player has one year remaining on his contract with the option of a 12-month extension.
