Manchester United have removed a giant poster of Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo outside Old Trafford.
Workers were spotted tearing a large poster featuring Ronaldo from the side of Old Trafford, stirring transfer speculation further.
The 37-year-old made an aggressive play to leave United by joining ‘Piers Morgan Uncensored’ to unleash his pent-up fury on the club.
He claimed the Glazer family ‘didn’t care’ about sporting success, and admitted he ‘didn’t respect’ Manager Erik ten Hag and slated the lack of ‘evolution’ since his exit in 2008 as part of the 90-minute interview.
Ronaldo in the recent interview said he feels “betrayed” by the Red Devils, while he further criticised the club’s manager Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo has a contract with the 20-time English champions until next June, but he is unlikely to play for the club again due to his recent comments, which caused shockwaves around the world of football.
Sporting Lisbon and Chelsea are among the clubs being linked with the forward, who is currently with the Portugal squad preparing for the start of the 2022 World Cup.
Man United have now dropped a huge hint that they are preparing to move on from Ronaldo by removing a giant poster of the Portuguese from outside of Old Trafford.
The former Sporting youngster features on the poster alongside some of the club’s iconic former number sevens as part of a ‘more than a shirt’ campaign.
Ronaldo has found it difficult to make his mark for the Red Devils this season, only scoring three times in 16 appearances in all competitions, in addition to registering two assists.
The Portuguese has only netted once in 10 Premier League appearances this term, although the strike against Everton proved to be his 700th in club football.
