Cristiano Ronaldo tells Manchester United he wants to be released from the final year of his £360,000-a-week contract

Manchester United striker, Cristiano Ronaldo has informed the club he wishes to be relinquished from his contract to free him to join a Champions League side.

 

The Portuguese striker returned to Manchester United on Tuesday July 26, with his agent Jorge Mendes to discuss his future with the club after missing all of United's pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia.

 

The Mail report the Portugal superstar wants to be freed from the final year of his £360,000-a-week contract.

United’s stance has not changed and they do not want to sell, nor have they received any enquires.

 

Chelsea and Bayern Munich were interrested in signing Ronaldo but the clubs ruled themselves out of the race.

 

Atletico Madrid have shown an interest, but there has been several backlash from their fans.

 

The Ronaldo saga is set to rumble on over the summer, but he is likely to remain professional, the report added.

 

He underwent medical tests and then trained on Wednesday July 27, before watching his team-mates in a behind-closed-doors friendly match against Wrexham.

 

The Red Devils play friendlies against Atletico Madrid on Saturday, followed by a game against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday. It is thought that he could feature in the latter fixture at Old Trafford.

Tinubu should be in Guinness World Records for causing Nigerians most hardship – Peter Obi

Image
The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should be in the Guinness World Records for “causing Nigerians the most hardship .”   Speaking in an interview with Vanguard, the former Anambra state governor noted that the average Nigerian should be able to judge the performance of President Tinubu so far since May 2023.    Recall that President Tinubu said he deserves to be included in the Guinness World Records over his performances in the country since he assumed leadership.   Reacting, Peter Obi said; “He may actually be correct when he claims that his name deserves to be in the Guinness World Records. Don’t forget that people’s names don’t always make it into the Guinness World Records for only altruistic reasons. So, it depends on which angle he is coming from. If the idea is to put his name in the Guinness Book of Records for causing Nigerians the most hardship – untold hardship, of course he i...

Don’t drag Obi into your Tinubu fight, LP tells Atiku

Image
The leadership of the Labour Party has asked the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to leave out its candidate, Peter Obi, from his feud with President Bola Tinubu, saying the former Anambra governor is solely focused on reclaiming his ‘stolen mandate’ at the apex court. The party however said it will welcome any interest that amplifies its quest for a nation where true justice shall reign. The response was a reaction to the call by the PDP candidate for Obi and the presidential flag bearer of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, to join his crusade in exposing the alleged dirty secrets of the president. In a statement released in Abuja on Wednesday by the National Publicity Secretary of LP, Obiora Ifoh, the party appealed that they would appreciate if their candidate is allowed to concentrate on his case at the apex court. The statement read, “The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi is presently in the Supreme Cou...
