The Premier League is about to kick off in less than a week.

Yet, the future of one of the biggest names in football is still hanging in the air.

Cristiano Ronaldo is trying everything to force a move out of Man United.

In Manchester United’s 1-1 friendly draw with Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford on Sunday, he left the ground before full-time.

This was after Ronaldo was substituted by Ten Hag at half-time after his first appearance for the club in 12 weeks.

Apparently, Ronaldo and Diogo Dalot left the stadium around the 80th-minute mark.

In fact, a fan attempted to jump the barrier and embrace Ronaldo before security intervened.

Ronaldo waved at fans from his car as he prepared to drive off.

Many Man United were furious with his behaviour.

One Twitter user wrote – Would be nice to see him leave the club as well before the transfer window ends!

United refused to comment on whether Ronaldo’s early departure was sanctioned by manager Erik ten Hag.

What’s happening on the transfer front?

On July 5th, Ronaldo dropped a shock request to leave the club this summer just 12 months after he sealed an emotional return to the club from Juventus.

But so far, Man United has refused to relent.

United have taken a strong stance over Ronaldo’s future by insisting that he is not for sale.

They have also pointed out that he still has a year left to run on the two-year deal he signed.

In fact, Ronaldo’s options for a new club growing smaller by the day.

All the clubs in contention, namely Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have pulled back, scared by Ronaldo’s lofty United wages.

However, that has not stopped Ronaldo from continuing to insist that he wants to play in the Champions League next season.

He missed United’s pre-season tour of Asia and Australia due to ‘personal reasons’ and only returned to the fold last week.

Even super agent Jorge Mendes has been pulled into the fray.

Mendes reportedly told Manchester United to ‘name their price’ for Cristiano Ronaldo as he attempts to get the Portuguese superstar out of Old Trafford.

But right now, it looks like a stalemate as Ronaldo looks likely to be stuck with United for the time being.

Other transfer news

In other transfer news, RB Leipzig are reportedly ‘increasingly confident’ of sealing a deal for former striker Timo Werner.

The German only left the Red Bull Arena three years ago in a switch to Chelsea.

Apparently, the German side held talks with Chelsea over the past few days and are optimistic of sealing his signature on either a permanent or loan deal.

Juventus are also interested in the German though RB Leipzig is the most likely destination.

Napoli are in talks with Chelsea over the loan signing of Spain goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, 27.

Georgina Rodriguez made a huge claim on the future of her husband and star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, in Football. In a brief interaction with a host recently, Rodriguez was asked about the time left for Cristiano to make an impact at the highest level. Georgina looked honest in her approach to the question of the host and claimed something the fans would not love to hear.

Georgina claimed that the Portugal star has maybe one year more from him at the highest level. She felt that Ronaldo might play two more years before retiring and not more than that. She was however not sure if he would play for just one or two years and added that the Al Nassr star could also play more than that.

“Cristiano one more year, then it’s over. Maybe two, I don’t know,” said Rodriguez in the little chat she had with the host. The video has gone viral on X and the fans have started sharing it on different platforms. Some of the fans feel that Georgina might be right, while others feel that she could be wrong, given the fitness and longevity of the star player.

Legacy of Cristiano Ronaldo

On the 5th of February, Ronaldo celebrated his 39th birthday. He is currently one of the oldest players in the world. In the past, players at this age would have retired way back. But the fitness and consistency of Ronaldo make him play the sport as long as he wishes. In his career so far, Ronaldo has won many major leagues for Portugal and league teams like Real Madrid, Al Nassr, and Manchester United.

With United, Portugal won some major leagues like the FA Cup and the Champions League. With Real Madrid, the 39-year-old won the leagues like the UCL, Copa Del Rey and La Liga. He won it three consecutive times for Real Madrid. For Portugal, Cristiano had a huge contribution to Portugal. He has the most number of appearances and goals for an international team and won the Euro 2016 with Portugal.

Jude Bellingham shown Red Card (Image Credit: Twitter)

England and Real Madrid player Jude Bellingham was slapped with a Red Card during the La Liga game against Valencia. In the game, the home team, Valencia was leading by 2-0 after 30 minutes before Madrid scored in the injury time of the first half. Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for Madrid while Hugo Duro (27′) and Roman Yaremchuk (30′) scored a goal each.

In the 76th minute, Junior scored an equalizer to keep the team in the game. However, in the injury time of the second half, Bellingham was given a red card as he argued with the referee against calling it a full-time before he could score. In reply, the match official decided to slap the England international with a Red Card. The team coach Carlo Ancelotti wasn’t happy with the verdict as the Three Lions player was making a pass at the time.

Jude Bellingham verbally abusing officials and other footballers at the slightest provocation needs to be talked about more. It’s embarrassing he gets applauded by Real Madrid Fans.

“I think what’s just happened is unprecedented. It’s never happened to me,” Ancelotti told reporters.

“We had possession of the ball and the match should have been finished when Valencia had the ball.

“What bothers us is the red card for Bellingham because he didn’t say anything insulting. He was frustrated of course,” said Ancelotti, adding that Bellingham had used a common English swearword when telling the referee it was a goal.

We are annoyed with Jude Bellingham’s Red Card: Carlo Ancelotti

“We were annoyed with Bellingham’s red card. He didn’t say any insults. He said in English ‘it’s a f—ing goal,’ but he was just saying what we were all thinking … [The referee] allowed play to continue. I think he made a mistake.”

“[Bellingham] was clear in what he said,” Ancelotti added. “He was quite vehement [in his reaction] but that’s normal, after what happened. It wasn’t an insult, not at all.”
