MANCHESTER UNITED may have to let dejected superstar Cristiano Ronaldo go for free in January because they have received no offers.
Ronaldo, 37, refused to come on against Tottenham on Wednesday’s 2-0 win and stormed down the tunnel at Old Trafford with injury time still to play before leaving the stadium entirely.
As a result, United manager Erik ten Hag has axed the five-time Ballon d’Or winner for tonight’s clash at Chelsea and ordered him to train by himself at Carrington.
The star forward’s future with the Red Devils has become uncertain and he could soon be on the move.
However, ESPN report that the Red Devils have received no interest for the Portugal international even though they have made him available since the summer when he expressed his desire to leave.
According to i, United are even willing to let the 37-year-old go for free in the January transfer window if his super agent Jorge Mendes can’t find him a new home.
