Paul Ince, Manchester United legend, has urged the Premier League club to sell Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.
Ince who spoke in an interview with Safe Betting, said that it’s best for United should allow the Portuguese international to leave the club.
“If a player wants to leave, eventually they find a way to get out,” said Ince, speaking at a Safe Betting Sites event.
“We saw when Ronaldo came on in the first game of the season that some fans were applauding him, but some fans weren’t happy with him.
“It showed that again, it’s another disruption in the building process of Manchester United.
“It’s a difficult one. Obviously, you think about the 18 goals he scored last year and without them, United are in the bottom half of the table.
“This shows the importance of Ronaldo to this team, but there comes a point where questions are asked.
“Ronaldo is a serial winner, one of the best players ever to grace the football pitch, but you have to be a leader, you have to set an example.
“And there’s been times where he’s not played, or he’s walked off the pitch, not applauded the fans, and that doesn’t sit well.
“Whether he wants to stay or leave, he still has to have the ultimate respect for everybody else. This is an issue that needs to be resolved quickly, and it’s never easy for a manager.
“Once the window is shut, it’s a case of if he’s still here, he’s got to get on with it. He needs to get himself fit, and start playing for his fans and his teammates.”
