Cristiano Ronaldo wants Man Utd to be 'ambitious' in transfer market as agent Jorge Mendes 'holds talks over exit'

CRISTIANO RONALDO reportedly wants Manchester United to be “ambitious” in the transfer market.

It comes as his agent Jorge Mendes holds talks with other clubs over a potential exit this summer.

Fabrizio Romano claims Ronaldo’s Old Trafford future is unclear following Erik ten Hag’s arrival.

The Dutchman is set to implement a bold new style of football after seeing plenty of success with Ajax.

And Ronaldo, 37, is said to “like” Ten Hag, as well as his tactical style.

However, the Portuguese striker is far from happy with United’s transfer business amid links to rivals Chelsea.

The Red Devils are yet to make one single signing, despite being in talks with Barcelona over Frenkie de Jong for several weeks.

United’s first capture could now be Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia, who was on the verge of joining Lyon for £15million.

But Ronaldo wants United to be pulling out all the stops for “ambitious” signings as they bid to return to the Champions League.

It’s led to the veteran considering his future, and agent Mendes is reportedly talking with outside clubs to see what Ronnie’s options are.

Bayern Munich have already turned Ronaldo down as they hope to hang on to Barcelona target Robert Lewandowski.

Meanwhile, Chelsea owner Todd Boehly held talks with Mendes over several of his players, including Ronaldo.

But United insist their star man is not for sale, with Ronnie forming a key part of Ten Hag’s plans.

The ace still has a year left on his Old Trafford contract.

And United legend Ronaldo would have to force an exit from the club if he really wants to go.
