Bad Apple: Former Chelsea star tells Man Utd what to do with Ronaldo

Former Chelsea star Craig Burley has told Man Utd to let Cristiano Ronaldo leave the club this summer.

According to Burley, Man Utd have to need of keeping the Portugal star, who wants to leave the club this summer.

The previous reports revealed Ronaldo told Man United to let him leave if a suitable offer is made this summer.

“[Apparently] there will be a few tears shed in the Manchester United dressing room if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves… Really? Trust me, the only tears shed will be from fans at the fact that half of these wannabes are at the club,” Burley told ESPN FC (via Metro).

He added, “The fact that he allegedly was a bit divisive last year on arrival at the club, I think that is merely down to the fact that the standards were awful. I can understand that frustration.

“I think Manchester United have to get him out. He isn’t the future. You can’t have a bad apple, a divisive player and one that does not want to be there.

“You have new management, trying to build some new foundations. You can’t have that player. The biggest mistake he [Ronaldo] made was walking into the club 12 months ago thinking they were moving forward.”
