Man Utd deadline for final decision on Ronaldo revealed

Manchester United are set to take action on their Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo after his explosive interview.

According to the report, the Red Devils plan to resolve Ronaldo’s future before their first Premier League game back after the World Cup on 21 December.

Man Utd said in a statement on Friday that they have ‘initiated appropriate steps.’

Another report via ESPN revealed that Manchester United would prefer not to sue Ronaldo in order to avoid a potentially lengthy legal battle.

According to the report, Ronaldo’s response to Man United’s plans to terminate his contract will decide their course of action.

As of now, Ronaldo is with his home country Portugal squad ahead of their World Cup group opening match against Ghana on Thursday.

The Red Devils’ next game comes up on 21 December when Erik ten Hag’s side host Burnley in the Carabao Cup.

Man United hope to reach a final decision before then.
