Mendes urges furious Ronaldo to stay with Man Utd | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo has left talks with agent Jorge Mendes about his future at Manchester United.

The Sun says Mendes has tried to calm the player down after he was axed from the side to face Manchester City in the derby at the weekend.

But he is understood to be fighting a losing battle with the player increasingly intent on leaving the club this summer, less than a year after his emotional return to Old Trafford.

The player is still furious after being told by Ralf Rangnick that he would be deployed as a super-sub at the Etihad.

Ronaldo subsequently complained of a hip problem and was left out the squad.

He flew off to Portugal rather than join his team-mates at the city centre Lowry Hotel on Saturday night as they prepared for their Sunday afternoon showdown with City.

The 37-year-old veteran did return to the club's Carrington training ground yesterday and was last of the players to leave.

He was there again today but didn't take part in full training.

There is now an uneasy tension around Carrington with the players aware of Ronaldo's mood.
