Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most talented and marketable footballers in the world. He has a global fan base and his name is recognized across the sporting world but Releasing Ronaldo from his contract with Manchester United has its benefits. It would free up wages and transfer funds that could be used to improve other areas of the squad. It would also allow United to sign a replacement for Ronaldo who is more suited to Erik ten Hag's philosophy.

How this could affect Manchester United's team

Ferdinand went on to say the following: "If he (Erik ten Hag) doesn’t see Ronaldo as a starter in his team more often than not, I think he has to release him from his contract. He has to let him go. It’s not fair on anybody, on the club, on Ronaldo, on Ten Hag, that the first question after every game is Why didn’t Ronaldo start?". So what do you think? Where will Ronaldo go next?
