Cristiano Ronaldo decides to leave Man Utd
Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to leave Manchester United this summer amid interest from Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
The Portuguese rejoined the Red Devils after 12 seasons last summer, and had a terrific comeback season with 24 goals in all competitions.
Despite his efforts, the club finished a disappointing sixth in the league while they failed to win a trophy for the fifth-straight campaign.
It is now reported that Ronaldo has asked to leave the club as he is desperate to continue playing in the Champions League next season.
The 37-year-old has featured in the elite competition for the past 19 years, and does not see himself playing Europa League football.
He has now urged United to accept a satisfactory offer. Bayern and Chelsea could be leading the race to sign the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Among the two, Bayern could be deemed favourites as Ronaldo could be tempted by a fresh challenge in the German Bundesliga.
They could move for his services if Barcelona sign Robert Lewandowski.
