“He told the club in the summer that he wanted to leave. There were no takers, maybe because of his wages or the price Man Utd wanted.
“I think he knows that’s going to be the same in this next transfer window and he is now trying to be sacked or wants to leave on a free.”
Ronaldo’s current contract with United expires in June 2023.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner returned to Old Trafford in the summer of 2021 and finished as the club’s top scorer with 24 goals.
He will now fly out to Qatar with Portugal for his fifth appearance at the World Cup.
