Erik Ten Hag holds emergency meeting over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future with Man Utd board

Cristiano Ronaldo’s interview with Piers Morgan has been doing the headlines for all the wrong reasons. And amidst the chaos, Erik Ten Hag has held a meeting with the board to discuss the situation of the forward. 

He was expected to go on a family holiday, but pushed that back in order to tend to the matter at hand. According to the official statement released by the club, they will make a decision based on the full interview once the facts have been established. 

Erik Ten Hag to make Cristiano Ronaldo decision imminently

The Dutchman has left out the five-time Ballon d’Or award winner of the starting line-up on multiple occasions this season. And that has also led to increased displays of frustration from Ronaldo, with the touchline incident against Spurs coming to mind. 

Manchester United are apparently seeking legal advice on the matter, as they believe it is now impossible for the striker to return to the first team. There are rumours that the club will consider terminating his contract after the World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo’s current deal runs out in the summer, which means he will be able to walk out on a free transfer regardless. 

And it now seems like his second spell at Manchester United is very close to being over.
