The football pundit, Andy Goldstein, has slammed Cristiano Ronaldo, saying he does not like players like the Portugal international.

Ronaldo is insistent on leaving Manchester United this summer despite the new manager, Erik ten Hag, asking him to stay and play a key role in his plans.

The football icon returned to the Old Trafford training ground on Tuesday with his agent, Jorge Mendes, and reportedly held a showdown talk with the German boss and the club’s hierarchy.

The Portugal international was said to have insisted he was leaving despite the presence of his former boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, in the crunchy talk.

And Goldstein feels the 37-year-old feels he is bigger than the club and should be allowed to go.

Goldstein, a Manchester United fan, believes everything should have been sorted before the start of pre-season.

“I don’t like any player that thinks they’re bigger than the club.

“This should’ve been sorted before preseason!

“If you have a player like Ronaldo, you feel obliged to pick him,” he said.
