Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold to meet Cristiano Ronaldo to discuss his Old Trafford future?

Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo made a startling return to Manchester United this summer. However, the club has been underperforming across tournaments, while he finds it challenging to sustain despite performing at his personal best. While reports state that he might be pondering on his future at the club, CEO Richard Arnold is scheduled to meet him on the same lines.

Ronaldo has scored 14 goals in 22 matches across competitions. However, United is struggling at the seventh spot in the EPL, as its bid for a top-four finish to earn an automatic UEFA Champions League (USL) berth next season looks dicey. However, it still has a chance to redeem itself in the FA Cup and the UCL this season.

Earlier, Ronaldo warned that he was not at United to compete for the sixth or seventh spot but was eyeing a top-three finish instead. His words hinted that he might leave Old Trafford at the end of the season if United failed to get the job done. While Ronaldo is on a two-year contract, he was linked to defending English champion Manchester City before United swooped him in.

According to Daily Star, Arnold will be meeting United in the coming days after reports of him being disillusioned with his life with the Red Devils have emerged. Arnold replaced Ed Woodward as the club CEO this month. Also, United is looking to tour the United States of America (USA) during the pre-season tour next summer. The club would be looking to make maximum profits, with Ronaldo being the top drawer, as Arnold will have the same plan on a high during his discussions with the Portuguese.
