Ronaldo has been in good form for Manchester United this season, his latest outing yielding a hattrick which helped the Red Devils defeat Norwich City 3-2. The Portuguese star however, has failed to inspire his side to a title challenge this season and it is highly likely that the Red Devils fail to secure a top-four spot in the Premier League. While there remains the option of extending his contract by a year, Ronaldo might leave Manchester United if there's no Champions League football at Old Trafford next season.
With 21 goals across competitions for Manchester United, he is the highest scorer for his club this season and if he leaves, it would certainly leave a gap in the side. It has been learnt that Manchester United have expressed interest in signing Darwin Nunez from Benfica should Ronaldo leaves the club.
