Manchester United give in to Cristiano Ronaldo's demands
Manchester United will not fight Ronaldo to keep him at the club. It will be his decision entirely.
The Portuguese, who did not show up for the fourth training session led by Erik ten Hag, said just over a week ago that his intention was to leave Old Trafford because he wants to play in the Champions League next season.

As reported by The Sun's British journalist covering Manchester United Neil Custis, Manchester United have accepted that Cristiano Ronaldo will leave the club in this summer transfer window.
The Red Devil side recognize that they cannot hold him against his will and want to avoid a lengthy saga, so they are hoping to close his exit as soon as possible. Erik Ten Hag, the club's new manager, is considering the project without him in the squad.
Manchester United are considering several options to replace him in the summer. The strikers who are high on the list are Lautaro Martinez, Robert Lewandowski, Patrik Schick and Victor Osimhen. Other players who are a priority for ten Hag are Lisandro Martinez, Frenkie de Jong and Antony.
What does the future hold for ‘CR7’
Cristiano Ronaldo has sounded strongly for several important clubs such as Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Sporting de Portugal, PSG and even for FC Barcelona, taking into account the meetings that Joan Laporta and Jorge Mendes have had in the last hours. There is nothing concrete at the moment, but Manchester United's change of position may open the door for more clubs to bid for the Portuguese.
