Manchester United are exploring their legal options as they look to end Cristiano Ronaldo’s time at the club.
It is accepted at United that Ronaldo cannot play for manager Erik ten Hag again following his fierce criticism of the Dutchman in his TalkTV interview.
He has just over seven months remaining on his contract.
United could terminate the Portuguese forward’s contract, which would leave him free to sign for another club when the transfer window opens in January.
It is understood they are loath to offer the 37-year-old any kind of pay-off given how strongly they feel about the situation.
The club want the matter dealt with quickly to avoid it spilling over into the second half of the season.
