Manchester United have not made any significant progress in rejuvinating their squad for next season and it is increasing Cristiano Ronaldo's doubts. 'AS' report that the Portuguese star, who wants to be at his best in the final year of his contract, is still considering his future.
Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United expires in the summer of 2023 and the Portuguese player does not know whether he wants to stay at the club that saw him develop from a teenage prospect into a superstar. Erik ten Hag could convince him to stay, but at the moment, the club's sporting project is not advancing.
Whilst rivals are improving their squads with marquee signings, such as Liverpool's signing of Darwin Nunez and Manchester City buying Erling Haaland, there has barely been any progress at Old Trafford. This is worrying United's number '7', who wants to be able to play be at his best with the squad.
'AS' report on Ronaldo's unease with the situation, warning that the ex Juventus man could leave this summer. In fact, 'The Old Lady' are dreaming of a potential double transfer that would involve playing alongside Neymar next season. For this to happen, both players would have to accept huge pay cuts.
Yet, this is far from happening. All that has happened at the moment is Cristiano Ronaldo is doubting his future at United; the club can still react and ensure that he stays. There is a lot of time to improve the squad for the 22/23 season and if 'CR7' is impressed with how the project develops, he could be convinced to stay.
