It’s time for Manchester United to let Ronaldo go—Gary Neville

Manchester United need to let Ronaldo go now, club legend, Gary Neville speaks on the Cristiano Ronaldo situation at the club amidst speculated exit.

The highly controversial pundit did have quite a lot to say in the recent Overlap session with fans, and many of his topics unsurprisingly focused on the situation at Manchester United.

According to the former full back, the Old Trafford club has been quite embarrassing of late in its dealings in the transfer, and part which has to do with the Ronaldo situation.

The Englishman believes the club needs to take a bold step and let Ronaldo go than risk being bullied by one of its top players.

Gary Neville believes it will be in the good of Manchester United’s progress should they allow Cristiano Ronaldo to leave the club this summer.

According to the United legend, he posits:

“He will go down as one of the top players of all time and always will be. What happens this summer at Manchester United this summer will be forgotten about in 20 years.”

“But it’s unpalatable for me to watch as an ex-Manchester United captain, thinking that at this moment in time the star player in the dressing room is playing up.”

“You can’t have your star player in the club running the shop. You cannot have it. So when Sir Alex Ferguson in the past moved players on, it’s because that player needed to be moved on.”

“I know Manchester United fans want Ronaldo to stay. But if Ronaldo wants to leave, Manchester United – in my mind – should facilitate that.”
