Amidst speculation of possible contract termination, a spokesperson of Manchester United said, "There is no change in the club's position." So far, the Red Devils' official response to Ronaldo's wish to leave the club for a shot at Champions League glory is that the Portugal international is not for sale.

"Unsurprisingly, the Cristiano Ronaldo speculation continues, with some talk now of Manchester United possibly terminating his contract," Romano said. "However, my understanding so far, based on what's emerging from Manchester United, is that Cristiano Ronaldo is part of the project and there is no intention of parting ways with him. This is the thinking within the club, with Erik ten Hag who has always defended him so far," he added.

"Certainly, the Ronaldo situation has not been easy to manage for two months now, but I believe that the main problems for Manchester United are in other areas," Romano concluded.

Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure during Manchester United's appalling 4-0 defeat at Brentford, which left Erik ten Hag's side bottom of the Premier League table. Meanwhile, Ten Hag ordered his players in for extra training on Sunday and wanted to make them run 13.8 kilometres during training because Brentford's players ran that much further than them during Saturday's defeat.
