Manchester United are still in the midst of a process of change after a very complicated start to the season which has seen them go through a serious clash under pressure with Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer request. The Portuguese star has seen all his suitors disappear, so he has no choice but to stay at Old Trafford. The former Juventus star wants to leave the Red Devils because his ambition is to play in the Champions League. Erik ten Haag has not said he doesn't want Cristiano at United, but has been very direct with the player. An understudy at the start of the season, the player doesn't look in the ideal position to be central to Ten Hague United's project. However, after weeks of tensions, trouble appears to be over as The Sun revealed some photos of the two men hours before Sheriff traveled to Transnistria (Moldova) to face Tiraspol. Cristiano still wants to compete at the highest level and for this reason, the Portuguese turned down an offer from Saudi Arabia that would have pocketed more than 100 million euros per year. However, Cristiano's future looks unlikely to remain at Old Trafford as the club focus on acquiring a young striker like Marcus Rashford or Anthony.
Anthony is shaping up for Manchester United Ajax in the summer
Manchester United summer signing Anthony has discussed his rough upbringing in Brazil. He took 35 minutes to find the net on his debut against Arsenal, making his Old Trafford move from Ajax for €100m. Anthony joined Sao Paulo's youth academy in 2010 aged just 10, and a decade later he signed for the Eredivisie champions. "I was just a humble little boy from a favela," he told Sky Sports. "I didn't have boots to play football, I didn't have a bedroom, I slept on the sofa. "I lived in the middle of the favela. There were drug dealers twenty yards from my house. “Sometimes when you watch a game on a Sunday there's that smell, the smell of marijuana comes home. “There were moments when my brother and sister and I hugged each other and cried thinking about our lives. "In the middle of the night, there were times when we would get the water out of our flooded house, but we would do it with a smile on our face." "It was emotional to see the net bulge and the fans on their feet cheering," Anthony noted. "I was very upset. That goal was for my family and the fans."
Cristiano Ronaldo turned down the chance to reclaim his position as the world's highest-paid footballer. Al-Hilal reportedly offered him a two-year contract worth €242m on Monday afternoon. The Saudi Arabian club intended to replace the Portuguese striker, the absolute reference of a club with players such as Luciano Vieto, Alvaro Gonzalez, David Ospina, Santi Mina and Alvaro Medran. Although Marca were able to establish the existence of the proposal after reports emerged in Portugal, Ronaldo's current plan is to stay at Manchester United or play at the highest level in the future. The Portuguese tried to leave Old Trafford this summer to find a team that offers Champions League football. He feels he is not getting the enjoyment he wants at Manchester United, yet insists on staying in Europe. The truth is that the Portuguese has temporarily lost his place in the first team and it looks like it won't be easy to get into Erik ten Haag's plans.
Attempts to seal Cristiano's move have failed
Cristiano was linked with Atletico Madrid, Marseille, Sporting Clube de Portugal and Napoli in July and August. Rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United future haven't stopped with the European transfer window closing. The Portuguese's name is back in the news after a lackluster start to the campaign at Manchester United.With the 2022 World Cup looming, the Portuguese will not want and can't afford to spend minutes if he hopes to arrive in Qatar in top form. Just because he's contracted to Manchester United and it won't be in Europe doesn't mean the former Real Madrid star has lost the opportunity to switch teams and more importantly, continents. According to CalcioMercato, a new window has opened for Ronaldo, in this case, in America. An MLS team would be interested in signing the Portuguese, though it may not be until January. It is understood that the team in question is David Beckham's Inter Miami. That's because Cristiano's contract with the Red Devils doesn't expire until June 2023, so the MLS club will wait for Cristiano to negotiate a new deal. Cristiano, who turns 38 in February, may want to try a new adventure outside of Europe. He will surely go down as one of the most important signings in the league's history in MLS.
Cristiano Ronaldo refused to become the highest paid player in the world
Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes and the player insisted that he leave Manchester in the summer, but that was not possible. The Portuguese was looking for a European team playing in the Champions League, but none could come close to his demands. However, money is not the only factor in Cristiano's decision. Saudi Arabian Football Federation president Yasser Almisehal claimed in 'The Athletic' that the Portuguese rejected an "obscene" offer from Al-Hilal. This information has been expanded in the last few hours. In particular, CNN Portugal revealed the offer Cristiano received. Erling Haaland arrived at Pep Guardiola's Manchester City this summer and has been wowing City fans with his goals ever since. Not only does the Norwegian impress with his goals, he is also proving to be the final piece of Pep's puzzle. So much so, that a United fan chased him down the street and had a hilarious exchange on the streets of the city. "Haland, you've come to the wrong side of Manchester," the United fan started from his car, catching the Norwegian's attention, "No, they love me here."
