Cristiano wants to leave United - he has asked the club to accept any offer for him

Cristiano Ronaldo is closer than ever to ending his second spell at Manchester United. According to a report by 'The Times', the Portuguese striker has already informed the club of his wish to leave the Red Devils this summer.

As reported by the aforementioned source, the number 7 has asked the club in recent days to listen to offers for him in this summer's window. This information comes days after it was leaked that the English club intented to rule out his departure and even give him the captaincy.

Cristiano wants to leave United as he has not found what he was looking for there. At 37 years of age, his hunger for titles is unlikely to be satisfied at Old Trafford. On top of this, Ten Hag's team will be absent from the next edition of the Champions League.

With the World Cup just around the corner, the Portuguese is hoping to find a new challenge. He wants to have a greater chance of success than he does currently in the mediocre United side of recent seasons.

As is to be expected, there will be no shortage of teams wanting Cristiano Ronaldo. This is in spite of him gradually losing the star status he enjoyed only a few years ago. In fact, Inter Milan recently turned him down. He then inflicted a "no" of his own to another Inter. This being, David Beckham's Miami.

Roma have been the team most recently linked to him. He would be reunited with José Mourinho at the Olimpico. The two spent time together at Real Madrid when both were at the peak of their respective careers.
