Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly told the club that he wants to be allowed to leave amid concerns he will be unable to compete for the biggest trophies at the club.
The Portugal international, 37, made an emotional return to the Red Devils last summer from Italian champions Juventus, inking a two-year deal worth £12million at Old Trafford. But he is now said to be pushing for a move, according to a report in The Times.
Ronaldo is said to want the club to let him leave if they receive a satisfactory offer for his services.
The former Real Madrid man's request is driven by his desire to play in the Champions League, which United failed to qualify for last season.

The report adds that sources close to Ronaldo claim that he maintains respect for the club and its supporters, he is pursuing a transfer on both sporting and personal grounds. It is understood Ronaldo and his family have been through a difficult period following the death of his infant son during childbirth in April.

“Cristiano Ronaldo believes he has “three or four years” left at the highest level and would like to spend them at a club where he is capable of adding to his team and individual achievements.”
