Manchester United interim coach Ralf Rangnick recently made a surprising statement. The German-blooded man said that Cristiano Ronaldo will not leave Manchester United in the near future.

This was reported via Twitter one of the journalists from Italy, Fabrizio Romano. In his tweet, Fabrizio Romano said that Cristiano Ronaldo had no strong reason to leave Old Trafford.

Ralf Rangnick was surprised by the rumors. He revealed the star will continue to work at Carrington and complete his written contract until June 2023, with an option to extend it for another year.

“Why does he have to say goodbye? He has one more year on his contract, as far as I know Cristiano will be here next season,” Ralf Rangnick said, quoted from Fabrizio Romano’s personal Twitter, Tuesday (3/5/2022).

Cristiano Ronaldo’s appearance this season is fairly brilliant. He became the brightest player under Ralf Rangnick, scoring 24 goals and providing three assists in 38 appearances in all competitions.

A total of 18 goals were created in the Premier League, from 29 appearances. His most brilliant action when defending the Red Devils in the Champions League, with a collection of six goals from seven matches, even though the Red Devils were eventually eliminated in the round of 16.

His figure as a living legend of Manchester United and his status as a rival superstar Lionel Messi is still very much needed. Moreover, Erik Ten Hag will come as the next coach next season.

It’s interesting to see what Cristiano Ronaldo will do under the cold hands of Erik Ten Hag? Moreover, the Dutch coach has the ambition to revolutionize the power of Manchester United
