Cristiano Ronaldo only returned to Manchester United in the summer, but after six months he is already thinking about leaving Old Trafford. The reason is said to be dissatisfaction with the playing style of new coach Ralf Rangnick.

The Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga dragged on for a long time in the summer. It seemed that he would be the new Manchester City player, but then the whole thing took a turn and the Portuguese star returned to United.

Although he continues to produce points, has already netted 14 goals and added 3 assists, the team is not doing well. The Red Devils are up to seventh place in the Premier League with a 22-point loss to the leading Citizens.

This has led to the recall of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, only this change hasn’t improved things much so far. New interim coach Ralf Rangnick has so far failed to sort out United’s scattered squad, he is also struggling as many players are unhappy with his methods or style of play. As many as 17 players are reported to be unhappy with the new coach.

Including Cristiano Ronaldo. According to the Daily Star, he is not happy with the German coach’s style of play. Rangnick has changed the formation to 4-2-2-2, but it hasn’t brought much success so far.

Therefore, the Portuguese has to think about whether he will continue at the club from the summer or not. It is said to depend on who becomes Manchester United’s head coach from the new season.

The candidates are Mauricio Pochettino from PSG, Erik Ten Haag from Ajax and Brendan Rodgers from Leicester. Another much talked about name is Zinedine Zidane, but he is closer to PSG or the French national team.

Another factor could be promotion or non-advancement to the Champions League. Ronaldo is nicknamed “Mr. Champions League,” he holds almost all the records in this competition and would definitely not settle for just the Europa League. At the moment, the Red Devils are four points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, but have a game in hand.
