Football rumours: Cristiano Ronaldo to leave Manchester United in January

EXIT STRATEGY: Cristiano Ronaldo could leave Manchester United in January according to the Telegraph (Martin Rickett/PA)

What the papers say

He has only started once this Premier League campaign and now it appears Cristiano Ronaldo could leave Manchester United in January. The Telegraph says manager Erik ten Hag will not stop the striker, 37, if he seeks a new start elsewhere during the transfer window. The Portugal international has played just 80 minutes in the league since starting the Red Devils’ 4-0 loss at Brentford and cut a frustrated figure on the bench in Sunday’s 6-3 derby thrashing by Manchester City.
