Cristiano Ronaldo ‘worried’ by the club’s slow start to the summer after a disappointing 2021-22 season.

Cristiano Ronaldo is growing concerned over Man United’s transfer plans after losing six players as free agents this summer and are yet to sign anyone under new manager, Erik ten Hag.

There will be no Champions League football at Old Trafford next season after their worst-ever Premier League season which saw them finish in sixth place with just 58 points.

CR7 was excellent in front of goal despite the team’s struggles, scoring 18 goals which made him the highest of any Man Utd player.

He was awarded the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year and was also included in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.

The transfer window is now in to its 12th day but United have yet to secure their first summer signing after their rivals Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham strengthening with new additions to compete for trophies next season.

Cristiano Ronaldo was determined to fulfill the remaining year of his contract at United, despite their failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League,but now has doubts with the arrivals of Haaland at Man City and Darwin Núñez at Liverpool, he fears that the distance between those clubs and United will grow greater according to Spanish outlet AS

“The future does not seem much more hopeful for United in view of the reinforcements that the rivals are making and the passivity with which United has started the transfer market.”

“The current scenario has Cristiano worried, who does not want to exhaust his last season in the elite, or one of the last, without options to add a title to his record.”

Ronaldo is said to have demanded high-quality signings this transfer window to compete with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.

Man United new boss Erik ten Hag is looking to revamp the squad and has identified five new faces with Frenkie de Jong, Christian Eriksen, Antony, Jurrien Timber and a reserve goalkeeper the current targets.

It likely United will begin their pre-season next Monday without any new signing, several players including Ronaldo, have been given an extended break after they played runs of international fixtures earlier this month.

Manchester United are still in discussions with Barcelona over a potential deal for Erik ten Hag’s primary target Frenkie de Jong.

According to reports, Barcelona are demanding north of £70m for the playmaker despite their willingness to offload him.

The Spanish giants are looking to sell some of their key players this summer in order to manoeuvre within La Liga’s financial rules amid their huge debts.

The report claims: ‘Ronaldo wants reinforcements at Manchester United, but so far it does not seem that the club is going to enforce the squad changes that he considers necessary.’
