Cristiano Ronaldo has asked to be allowed to leave Manchester United should the Premier League club receive a satisfactory offer in the transfer window
The 37-year-old’s decision is said to be driven by a desire to play in the Champions League for the remainder of his career.
Ronaldo has been part of 19 consecutive Champions League seasons since leaving Sporting Lisbon for English football in the summer of 2003. He has never played in the Europa League, in which United will feature this season after finishing sixth in the Premier League.
