Cristiano Ronaldo will reportedly leave Manchester United if the club fails to meet a certain condition.

The Red Devils are already under their second manager of the 2021/22 campaign in Ralf Rangnick, but their fortunes have not exactly been a direct contrast to previous boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure as the side remains in the firing line of much criticism, even from within – with Ronaldo being one of the latest to speak of their woes.
Last week, the Portugal captain insisted he is not competing to be "in sixth place, or seventh place, or fifth place" with the club, and also claimed that the team's mentality was not in the right place.
The Sun has now reported that the 36-year-old will leave United at the end of this campaign if they fail to qualify for next season's edition of the UEFA Champions League.
It is said that the continental tournament is a major priority for Ronaldo, and it is further claimed that his representatives recently held a meeting with incoming chief executive Richard Arnold, who will replace Ed Woodward at the start of February, to discuss concerns about the direction the club is heading in.
