Man Utd accept 'defeat', let Ronaldo leave

Both new captain Erik ten Hag and the Man Utd Board of Directors had to 'admit defeat' and accept Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Old Trafford as he wished.

The 37-year-old superstar missed his fourth consecutive training session, which was also the last before Man Utd left for a pre-season tour in Thailand and Australia.

Not returning to headquarters after the deadline, the owner of 5 Golden Balls only texted new coach Erik ten Hag with just a few lines 'asking for leave due to family matters'. It is worth mentioning that theRonaldodid not return to training in the context that he previously asked to leave Old Trafford.

There are two main reasons why CR7 wants to leave: To find an opportunity to join a team that plays in the Champions League and Man Utd has not been able to strengthen its squad as he wishes.

Ronaldo has many options when leaving Old Trafford.

That situation forced the Dutch coach to reluctantly accept the legendary Portuguese striker's reason. In fact, Erik ten Hag highly appreciated Ronaldo and wanted him to continue contributing to the team.

“I want to keep Ronaldo because everything he has shown shows that he is one of the greatest players in the world. Moreover, I still see in him a great desire to play” - Erik ten Hag said.

However, after what Ronaldo has shown in the past few days and after talking with the Man Utd Board of Directors, at this time, the Man Utd board and coach Erik ten Hag have agreed to let Ronaldo go, not to hold on.

"Man Utd's board is no longer keen on keeping Ronaldo to avoid a prolonged dispute," said SunSport.

Despite his age, Ronaldo was still the 'Red Devils' top scorer last season with 24 goals. Therefore, Ronaldo's desire to leave has caused many teams with Champions League spots to want his signature such as Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Lisbon and even Barcelona.

Last season, the Red Devils of Manchester only earned 58 points - their lowest score in the Premier League era. Therefore, they ended up in 6th place and 35 points behind champions Man City, not being able to participate in the most prestigious European club tournament.

Chelsea unexpectedly joins the race for De Jong with MU

Daily Mail quoted Sport as saying that Chelsea wants to recruit midfielder Frenkie de Jong this summer ahead of Man United.

Reports suggest Chelsea are ready to offer defender duo Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso plus cash in exchange for De Jong's services.

It is worth mentioning that Barca also wants to own Azpilicueta and Alonso after signing another Blues defender, Andreas Christensen, on a free transfer.

Both Azpilicueta and Alonso have just one year left on their Chelsea contracts, so a deal could be possible. However, it remains to be seen whether an official offer from Chelsea is made, and whether Barca are willing to accept player-plus-player deals or need the cash to sign other new players.

Frenkie de Jong

De Jong is MU's number 1 target in the summer of 2022 when new coach Erik ten Hag wants to upgrade the Red Devils' midfield. At the end of June, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said Barca and MU had agreed on a fee for De Jong of 85 million euros, of which 65 million euros is the transfer fee and 20 million euros is additional fees.

As for Chelsea, they have not brought in any new players in this transfer window. The Blues are currently negotiating with Man City to buy striker Raheem Sterling. Center-back Nathan Ake - Sterling's teammate at Man City - is also in their sights. In addition, Chelsea is also aiming to buy Cristiano Ronaldo when CR7 wants to leave MU this summer.

However, midfielder Van Thao suffered a pain in his heel so he only jogged lightly outside the field. In addition to Van Thao, two other players, Van Trieu, who is injured, and goalkeeper Tung Han, who received a red card, will also not be on the U19 Vietnam squad for the upcoming match. Replacing Tung Han is goalkeeper number 3 Le Trung Tuan./.
