Cristiano Ronaldo Irked Three Manchester United Teammates Before Expressing Desire To Leave

Cristiano Ronaldo dropped a major bombshell on Manchester United after telling the club he wants to leave in the summer transfer window. 

It was reported on Saturday that Ronaldo has told the club to let him leave if a ‘satisfactory offer’ comes in. 

It is believed that Ronaldo’s return last summer irked three of Manchester United’s players. 

Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani was amongst those who were unhappy with Ronaldo’s return to United, Cavani was bound to be then manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first choice striker and was wearing the iconic number 7 shirt. But once Ronaldo walked through the door, he was relegated to second choice and he found himself giving up the number 7 shirt for Ronaldo. 

Frenchman Anthony Martial was also said to have been upset by the arrival of Ronaldo, it is believed that Martial’s mood changed after struggling to get game time. He then left Manchester to join La Liga side Sevilla for the second part of the season, but failed to impress as he ended his loan spell in Spain with just one goal. 

Last but not least, it was club captain Harry Maguire who is the third player irritated by Ronaldo’s return. The Englishman felt undermined by the Portuguese’s position as a leader with the Red Devils squad.
