Cristiano Ronaldo’s heroic homecoming hasn’t gone the way he planned. Even after sacking Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Manchester United continue to struggle and they’re not likely to reach the EPL’s top 4 by the end of the season.

The Red Devils have failed to be at their best and spending big bucks has done little to ease their woes. Needless to say, that has taken a toll on the club’s finances and its plans for the upcoming campaigns.

Moreover, Man United’s failure to reach a top-4 berth by the end of the season could also mean trouble for Ronaldo, whose salary could be docked by as much as 25% for the following season.

Notably, Ronaldo had already agreed to lower his salary demands from£500,000 per week just to secure a move back to Old Trafford. Now, this could seal his departure from the Theatre of Dreams once again.

Ronaldo has been one of the few bright spots for Man United this season when healthy. But he’s not getting any younger and his desire to compete at the highest level could drive him away from his beloved club again.
