Ronaldo and manager Erik ten Hag have failed to see eye-to-eye since the Dutchman took over from Ralf Rangnick earlier in the summer. Consequently, ten Hag, although publicly supportive of Ronaldo, is eager to bid farewell to him before the transfer window closes.
Sources close to Manchester United have also indicated that the club are now confident their efforts to sign Antony from Ajax will be successful.
