CRISTIANO RONALDO could leave Manchester United this summer unless they show more ambition in the transfer market, reports claim.
The veteran forward scored 24 goals in 38 appearances last season, but was part of statistically United's worst season of the Premier League era.
Ronaldo, 37, has spoken of his excitement at the appointment of new boss Erik ten Hag.
But reports in his native Portugal suggest he is frustrated by the Red Devils' lack of transfer business.
According to Record, Ronaldo could quit the club for a second time unless they buck their ideas up in the market.
They add that he has told United chiefs: "Up your game or I'll leave."

He told the Red Devils' club media: "What I know about (Ten Hag) is he did a fantastic job for Ajax, that he's an experienced coach.
