Amid the ongoing feud between him and manager Erik ten Hag, Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly set to make a shock decision on his contract at Manchester United.

The 37-year-old has come under fire for his actions on Wednesday night that led to Ten Hag dropping him from the Red Devils' first-team squad.
Ronaldo was seen heading down the tunnel before the final whistle in United's 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur, with reports later stating he left the stadium before the game ended.
Ten Hag has subsequently left him out of United's squad to take on Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend, prompting Ronaldo to release a statement on social media to explain his behaviour.
This has led to suggestions that the five-time Ballon d'Or winner no longer has a future at the 20-time English champions, after he attempted to leave United before the 2022/23 campaign got underway.
According to Portuguese journalist Pedro Almeida, the former Real Madrid and Juventus talisman could be preparing to cancel his contract, which runs out next year, in the coming weeks.

Other sections of the media state Ten Hag would approve the termination of his deal, with it reported that his departure would likely mean United move for a replacement in the January transfer window.
Ronaldo's frustrations come amid the bench role he has played since the season started after being named in United's starting XI in the Premier League just twice so far.
The Portugal captain has struck on just two occasions in all competitions.
