Erik ten Hag has given the green light to Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Manchester United this summer.

Ten Hag is ready to become United’s next manager after agreeing a deal in principle with the club’s management.

And the Dutchman is in favor of Ronaldo leaving, as he has made it clear that the United legend will not be part of his long-term plans at Old Trafford.

The news will amaze United fans, who still consider Ronaldo an iconic figure at the club, despite his difficulties this season.

Supporters were enthusiastic last summer when Ronaldo, ignored Manchester City rivals to make a stunning return to United from Juventus on a 12 million deal.

He was expected to help the Giants compete for trophies again, but his second deal turned into a nightmare.
