Cristiano Ronaldo could reportedly ‘leave Manchester United this winter’ as club executives and manager Erik ten Hag ‘are looking to ensure tranquility’ at Old Trafford.

The 37-year-old, who made his much-anticipated homecoming to United last season, has had a frustrating two years at the club, with Ronaldo failing to get game time under Ten Hag, after he expressed his desire to leave the Red Devils in the summer.

And according to Florian Plettenberg, the Portuguese superstar ‘may be set to depart the club in January’, with the Sky Sports journalist claiming that the club are already looking for his successor, with Erik Choupo-Moting being a prime target.

‘Bosses want to strengthen and Ten Hag wants to ensure tranquility. The search for successors is already underway (Choupo-Moting and others).

A return to Sporting Lisbon should be an option.’
