If you’ve been following football for even a few months, you’ve likely heard about the ongoing speculation about Manchester United’s interest in Cristiano Ronaldo. The club have been linked with moves for Frenkie de Jong, Christian Eriksen and Chelsea, but both players want to remain at Old Trafford. But is the deal still on and won’t depend on Ronaldo’s departure?
Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United
There are many rumours circulating in the Premier League this summer regarding the future of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Real Madrid star has reportedly told Manchester United that he wants to leave this summer. Manchester United are not keen to sell Ronaldo, but he has not yet decided where he wants to play. According to Sky Sports, Bayern Munich and Napoli are both interested in signing the Portuguese forward. However, United’s management is confident that Ronaldo will not leave this summer.
Although it is clear that United would like to keep the Portuguese forward, there is a definite emotional attachment to the club. Ronaldo played for United between 2003 and 2009, winning three Premier League titles and a Champions League. This means that he is desperate to compete in Europe’s premier competition. Moreover, the club’s failure to win any major trophy last season led to tensions in the squad.
The Portuguese international has been reportedly unhappy with the lack of new additions to the squad. Although there are 13 players who have left the club this summer, there have been no new arrivals. Despite the frustrations, the star remains ‘in love’ with the club and its fans. Unfortunately, he will not be able to play Champions League football this season. As such, the club is likely to be on the lookout for a replacement.
Despite the rumors, Manchester United are insisting that Ronaldo will not leave the club if he is offered a transfer to a new club. The new manager, Erik ten Hag, would be happy to work with the Portuguese superstar. The club ranked sixth in the Premier League last season and failed to qualify for the Champions League. The player also has an Instagram following of 462 million. Furthermore, it is believed that he will become the first soccer player to earn $1 billion in his career in 2020.
Chelsea want Frenkie de Jong
According to reports, Chelsea are interested in signing Belgium international midfielder Frenkie de Jong, but the club will not make a move for him until the wage dispute is resolved. This means the club will have to wait until the summer transfer window to make a move. But it is unlikely that the Blues will miss out on De Jong if they are interested in signing him. That being said, Chelsea will have to move fast in order to get the player.
While Manchester United are also interested in signing the Netherlands international, it’s hard to believe that De Jong would turn down the offer of playing for the Blues. While he doesn’t like the Premier League, he doesn’t want to shut himself off just to move to Chelsea. And if he does come to Chelsea, it’s likely that it will be because of the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season. But the player’s motivations are more personal than monetary: he believes Chelsea can win major trophies.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move to Manchester United for several months. While the move hasn’t materialised, it does seem like Chelsea are trying to land Frenkie ahead of Manchester United. In recent weeks, Frenkie de Jong has become a rival for Erik ten Hag’s signature, but there has been no official announcement yet. It remains to be seen if Chelsea are able to make the move.
The Netherlands international is an excellent midfielder and is highly regarded by both Manchester United and Barcelona. However, the club is aware that Manchester United are ahead in the race to sign the player and that he would prefer to stay at FC Barcelona. Despite the rivalry, Chelsea have already secured two top players in the summer transfer window – Raheem Sterling from Manchester City and Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli.
Inter Miami CF want Cristiano Ronaldo
David Beckham is interested in luring Cristiano Ronaldo to Inter Miami. The former Real Madrid star is unhappy with his contract at Manchester United and has been linked with a move to MLS. Beckham, who owns Inter Miami with his brother Marc, has been looking into the possibility of securing the biggest signing in MLS history. He hopes Ronaldo’s arrival will boost the brand of his Miami-based team.
Messi is a coveted international superstar with a huge fanbase and is expected to leave PSG at the end of the 2022-23 season. His move to Miami is expected to be big news for MLS and Ligue 1, as well as David Beckham’s struggling MLS franchise. But it’s difficult to imagine a scenario where the two superstars don’t work out. If Messi and Ronaldo do go to Miami, it’s highly likely that they’ll work out a deal.
The club’s co-owner, David Beckham, has said he ‘aspires’ to sign top players in the future. Ronaldo has been linked with a move to Major League Soccer because of the team’s ‘difficult’ schedule. In the meantime, the team already has players like Gonzalo Higuain, Blaise Matuidi, and Rodrigo Pizarro. The club has a decent roster, but the recent coronavirus outbreak may have curtailed the team’s progress.
David Beckham’s interest in signing Ronaldo is understandable. While Manchester United have been linked with him in recent years, the club’s owner, David Beckham, was interested in attracting Ronaldo’s attention from Real Madrid and Portugal. Beckham also saw the possibility of boosting the brand of Inter Miami. And what better way to do that than with an internationally famous soccer superstar? The only way to know for sure is to wait for a formal announcement.
Christian Eriksen wants to stay at Old Trafford
After being offered a contract by Manchester United last week, Danish international Christian Eriksen has confirmed he will stay at Old Trafford. The Danish defender had been mulling over a move to the club, having previously turned down an offer from Brentford. Eriksen has spoken of his desire to play for United and is ready to accept the three-year deal. The Danish defender’s decision will be subject to a medical, however. Eriksen collapsed on the pitch during the Euro 2020 tournament, and has since been undergoing treatment. United were patient, understanding that a decision would be more than just about football.
Although Tottenham were interested in signing Eriksen, the interest faded as other teams pursued the Denmark international. He was then left with two choices – United and Brentford. Whelan believes Eriksen’s decision to stay at United is a personal one, but he has other offers. After his time at Brentford, he rediscovered his best form. It’s unclear whether he’ll stay at the club, though, after he has already been linked with a move to Juventus.
While Eriksen’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain, the club’s recent resurgence in form has increased speculations that the Danish international will join the club. Despite the pressure, the Norwegian has remained optimistic throughout the season and is expected to join the squad in Australia. Despite the aforementioned pressures, the Danish defender has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, despite being a major target.
The Danish international is also a valuable player for United, and it’s hoped that he can contribute to the revamped squad. He’ll be a crucial part of the United team, but it’s unclear what kind of impact he will bring to the club’s squad. Eriksen will have to sort out his contract and medical issues before joining the team. Ajax have been known to be a club with a history of successful signings.
Anthony Martial’s future at Manchester United
With the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, the future of Anthony Martial at Manchester United will no longer depend on whether he signs a new contract with the club. The Frenchman has impressed United fans with his work rate and goals in both of his pre-season appearances. Ronaldo has yet to return to United for pre-season training. With one year left on his contract, it is unlikely that Toney will sign him.
It is likely that Anthony Martial will leave Manchester United in the summer. While he won the UEFA Nations League last season with France, his time at Old Trafford has been limited, and he is currently behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Cristiano Dybala. Martial has been playing for the club for seven years, and has enjoyed spells of sensational play. However, his form has waned considerably in recent seasons, and he has been regularly benched, mainly due to the form of his teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
If the Portuguese striker leaves, a move to Manchester United for Martial would be beneficial to all parties. The club would hope for a Jesse Lingard-like impact from Martial, while West Ham would look to reinforce their attack. Manchester United would be reluctant to strengthen their rivals. The club would also be keen to add another attacking midfielder in a position where Martial could thrive.
As for the other free agent that Manchester United have looked at recently, Ajax have been keen on signing Antony for a record fee. But this hasn’t happened, and the Dutchman has a clear priority for Antony. And he’s putting on a huge price for him. But the Dutchman’s desire to sign Antony remains a priority for the club.
