Former Aston Villa forward Gabriel Agbonlahor has slammed Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, claiming that the player only cares about himself and not the club.
Ronaldo, who has 12 months remaining on his current deal, has reportedly asked Manchester United to allow him to leave if a reasonable offer is made for his services this summer. The 37-year-old is seemingly unsettled at Old Trafford after the Red Devils failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League last season.
According to acclaimed transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes has held talks with a host of clubs over a potential move for his client. Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are keen to acquire the services of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, as per ESPN.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Agbonlahor opined about the ongoing transfer saga involving the Portuguese superstar. He said:
"I'm not surprised one bit, he doesn't want to play in the Europa League. The last few years of his career, he wants to play in the Champions League. But if I was a Manchester United fan, the biggest disappointment would be that he doesn't care about Manchester United, he cares about Ronaldo."
He continued:
"He wants to play in the Champions League, he wants to score more UCL goals, he wants to win more titles. United are a million miles away from any of that. He just cares about himself, he doesn't care about United because they need him now and he wants to jump ship. He doesn't want to be there and it just shows that it's the Ronaldo show and not the United show."
After making a blockbuster return to his former club last summer, the attacker scored 24 goals in 38 appearances across competitions in the 2021-22 season. However, the Red Devils failed to win a trophy last campaign, recording their lowest-ever Premier League points tally (58) in the process.
Cristiano Ronaldo misses Manchester United training again
After missing training with the Red Devils on Monday due to "family reasons", the Portugal international was again absent at Carrington for a second consecutive day on Tuesday, as per The Athletic.
Manchester United are set to begin their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Liverpool on July 12 in Thailand. The Red Devils will begin their 2022-23 Premier League campaign at home against Brighton & Hove Albion on August 7.

I love Ronaldo but he’s got ego issues. He gets paid so much so what’s wrong playing in Europa league.

Respect?? The guy is a legend of the club. Coming back to United was respect. If you are believing everything you see on the news then you are being deceived.

If possible, Cristiano would have swapped Portugal 🇵🇹 national team for France 🇫🇷 or Brazil 🇧🇷, Cristiano don't care about anything apart from Himself, Him, and Cristiano! He is just obsessed with Himself, scoring goals and Messi!

When the club shows lack of ambition and no signs of improvement coming anytime soon what is he suppose to do? He is 37 and wants to end his career on high note. Man UTD should be thankful to him for accepting to play for them last season with those shitty players. He did his part last season joined them scored for them and did his best for them so instead we should say Thanks Cristiano for coming back and we wish you all the best for your future.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored more Premier League goals than Kai Havertz & Romeru Lukaku combined last season 🤯

Cristiano and his fans only cares about scoring goals , don't care whether the team win or lose, whether the team relegate or didn't make top 🔝 4!

Ole and United finished the previous season with a second position doing better than Chelsea and Liverpool but Ralf and CR7 came to drag them to the Europa league 6th place. Let him go now and see where United will get to
And a season b4 that??😂😂😂

At the age of 37, being recognised as one of the greatest player of the game. You can’t expect him to be struggling at the club like a youngstar. CR7 CV speaks for him, he will always deliver but if the team around him and the club can’t match he’s ambitions then he’ll take matters into his hands, bcuz he has that power. Moreover he’s taking all the blame for United’s poor season even though he did great for his age, best if he leaves and allow the club grow as people say.
We don’t care about what he achieved, if he can’t respect man united then he is f..k up
