Paul Scholes has described the latest fuss around Cristiano Ronaldo’s future as a “circus” while Gabby Agbonlahor claims the striker “doesn’t care” about Man Utd.
Widespread reports have indicated that the Portugal international has asked the Red Devils if he can leave this summer if they receive a ‘satisfactory’ offer for him.
Chelsea, Barcelona and Napoli have all been linked with a move as Ronaldo eyes a transfer to a club in the Champions League next season after Man Utd failed to qualify.

😳 “The biggest disappointment if I was a #MUFC fan is that Ronaldo doesn’t care!”
🔴 “He doesn’t care about Man Utd, he cares about Ronaldo. He wants #UCL!”
