CRISTIANO RONALDO is reportedly annoyed with Manchester United after having to take a 25 per cent pay cut.
That’s due to the Red Devils missing out on Champions League football this season.
The Sunday Times claims Ronaldo, 37, was left fuming when United finished sixth in the Premier League last term.
The dud ending to Ralf Rangnick’s tenure not only saw the club miss out on the continent’s top competition.
But it also ensured Ronaldo saw his wages drop from £480,000-a-week to £360k-a-week.
The clause was written into his contract when Ronnie rejoined United from Juventus last year.

And the Portuguese legend has been giving out about the 25 per cent deduction since it kicked in two months ago.
Unhappy Ronaldo has been pushing for an exit this summer despite Erik ten Hag implementing a new style at Old Trafford.
He’s started just one of United’s four league games under the Dutchman.
And the striker could only muster a brief appearance from the bench in yesterday’s win at Southampton.

That’s because they are finally closing in on Ajax winger Antony.
