The folks at Manchester United can’t catch a break. With the appointment of Erik Ten Hag, it was expected that the club would move swiftly to complete transfers. However, it has not been smooth sailing for the club. Firstly, United CEO Richard Arnold met fans planning to protest to assure them that the club would make signings. And then came the big news. The Times reported that Cristiano Ronaldo had requested the club accept a transfer offer.
This would be a significant blow to United, who would lose their best attacker if accepted. However, there are no shortages of clubs looking to welcome Ronaldo into their ranks. Even at 37 years of age, the Portuguese is going strong. Ronaldo scored 18 goals in the Premier League, the third-highest in the league.
However, United have performed well below expectations. The club only accumulated 58 points in the league, their worst haul in the Premier League era. In addition, United suffered some of their most humiliating defeats. These include two defeats against Liverpool, an FA Cup exit at the hands of Middlesbrough and a Champions League exit against Atletico Madrid.
If Ronaldo stays, he would also miss out on the Champions League for the first time since the 2002-03 season. So, where could Ronaldo go?
Paris Saint Germain (PSG)
Could it happen? Will Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi play on the same team? Well, PSG is the only club that could make it happen. The club has offered the most significant contract in football history to Kylian Mbappe. And While PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi has said that the club would not indulge in any more big signings, the possibility of having a Messi-Mbappe-Ronaldo trio would be too good to pass.
The deal would also bring vast money into the club, which would mitigate the impact of the transfer fees and salary. This would also increase the viewership of Ligue 1, resulting in more money for the league.
One problem the club would encounter tactically is the lack of defensive work from the triumvirate. This is a problem that the club has faced time and again in the past seasons.
Their forwards’ lack of defensive duties has hurt the club, especially in the Champions League.
