Whether Ronaldo can really play in the style Ten Hag is expected to want, I'm not sure. But let's not pretend this is a positive development. The one player in the dressing room setting standards, the one player who knows what Manchester United is supposed to be about, wants to leave and has concerns about our lack of transfers and ability to compete. And we're going to be left with the players who looked at Ronaldo and his standards and attitude went "yeah, I don't fancy that."
Hopefully Ten Hag can get the best out of the likes of Fernandes, Martial and Rashford - a) because their best is pretty good and b) he's going to have to.
Regardless of whether you think Ronaldo is the right player for us, I think it's a bad sign that he wants to leave like this.
