Man Utd make major U-turn and accept Cristiano Ronaldo signing was an ‘error’

Manchester United have made a major U-turn and will allow ‘error’ signing Cristiano Ronaldo to leave this summer, according to a report.

Ronaldo’s return to the Red Devils was sold as a massive win both on and off the pitch. However, there were fears from outsiders that he had only come back because United were hell bent on stopping him joining Manchester City.

Losing Ronaldo is not part of United’s plans. But they would look to recoup some of the money they spent on him and his wages should he go.
