Cristiano Ronaldo is 'part of the problem' and hasn't improved Man Utd in damning blast

Cristiano Ronaldo is planning showdown talks with his agent about his Manchester United future.Ronaldo has become disillusioned with life back at Old Trafford and wants to meet Jorge Mendes to discuss what his options will be at the end of the season.It is understood Ronaldo is hoping to have face-to-face talks with Mendes when he returns to Portugal in March for his national team's crunch World Cup qualifier with Turkey.As exclusively revealed last month, Ronaldo is considering his future at United while he waits to discover who the next permanent manager will be. But since then he has suffered a dramatic dip in form after struggling to form a positive relationship with interim boss Ralf Rangnick.

Manchester United have reportedly added Luis Enrique to their manager shortlist alongside Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag.The Spain head coach is believed to have the 'technical credentials' and 'winning track record' that the Red Devils are looking for in their next boss, as per ESPN.And he is the candidate which Cristiano Ronaldo was said to have put forward to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last year.However, Enrique, 51, is now in a World Cup year for his country, so United would have a big job on their hands to convince him to leave before the tournament kicks off in November.The other two men under serious consideration, Pochettino and Ten Hag, look much more likely to move than him. Several United players want the former Tottenham and current PSG manager, it's been claimed.Pochettino has not lit up Paris and has made it clear he'd be open to a Premier League return.Ten Hag, meanwhile, has had his future shrouded in doubt following the resignation of Ajax chief Marc Overmars.Who best suits the position? Let us know in the comments section.Enrique does have a more glittering managerial CV than that pair, though.He won two La Liga titles and a Champions League while in charge of Barcelona, and completed the treble with Copa del Rey success in the 2014/15 season.

estrellas we love have been busy celebrating their birthdays, sharing new partnerships, and enjoying their well-earned vacations. Scroll down to have a look at what they’ve been up to this past week:

Cristiano Ronaldo is one game away from going on his biggest goal drought in club competitions for over 10 years.Manchester United face Burnley on Tuesday night and failure to net in the game for the superstar will mean that Ronaldo would have gone five games without scoring. The last time he failed to score for five consecutive games was back in 2010 when he was at Real Madrid.Ronaldo, who turned 37 on Saturday, has spoken before about playing way into his 40s and such a record, if broken, would be vindictive of just how great a player he has been.The Portugal international missed a penalty as United were knocked out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough on Friday night.During this point, he did not net on the final day of his first season as a Los Blancos player, not getting on the scoresheet against Malaga.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Mauricio Pochettino could trade places this summer as Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain brace themselves for some serious changes.United will need to appoint a new permanent manager in the coming months with interim head coach Ralf Rangnick's temporary deal set to expire at the end of the season, and Pochettino has been the frontrunner for some time.Meanwhile, reports suggest that Ronaldo already wants out of Old Trafford despite only returning to the club in August, with a move to Paris now looking likely.The French giants are preparing for life without Kylian Mbappe, who has reportedly agreed to join Real Madrid in the summer, and are considering replacing him with Ronaldo, according to the Mirror.The switch would see the 37-year-old lining up in the same team as eternal rival Lionel Messi for the very first time.Speculation surrounding the Portugal international's unhappiness in Manchester has intensified ever since the Red Devils were dumped out of the FA Cup on penalties by Championship side Middlesbrough on Friday.Ronaldo missed a number of chances during the game, including a penalty, and has now failed to find the back of the net in four matches, and is now one game away from his longest goal drought in over a decade.With United out of the Carabao Cup and trailing league leaders Manchester City by 19 points, the only piece of silverware Ronaldo can now hope to pick up this season is the Champions League.Which club would benefit most from this swap? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...As for Pochettino, United made an approach for him in November following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but prying him away from PSG mid-season was always going to be tough

Jamie Carragher has compared Mohamed Salah's Africa Cup of Nations penalty shootout decision to Cristiano Ronaldo's against Spain for Portugal.

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing Arsenal target Alexander Isak as Cristiano Ronaldo's potential replacement.Signing Ronaldo last summer was always going to be a short-term solution to the Red Devils' hunt for a striker, with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner now 37 years old.It might be even shorter than planned, though, because a season without silverware or Champions League qualification could see him depart this summer.If that were to happen, then The Mirror claim United could make a move for 22-year-old Isak, who has been heavily linked with Mikel Arteta's side to fill their gap for a new frontman. It's reported that United are keen on the Real Sociedad forward, but so are their Premier League rivals Chelsea.The Gunners now seem to have company in the race for the man seen as an alternative to Erling Haaland, who has looked set to move to Real Madrid but could now be up for grabs.They decided against making an offer for him in the January transfer window as his La Liga owners are only interested in selling for his £75m release clause.Would United be better off with Isak than Ronaldo? Let us know in the comments section.Isak's contract runs until 2026, which means Sociedad have no reason to cash in for any less than that fee.The Sweden international, who already has 31 caps for his country, has registered eight goals and two assists in 26 appearances for his club this season.Despite the rumour mill going into overdrive when he was spotted in London last month, Isak is remaining focused on his football.He told Mundo Deportivo: "I am not talking about other clubs.

FA Cup loss to Middlesbrough to declare life a "rollercoaster".The Man United forward missed a penalty in the first half which would have put his side ahead before Jadon Sancho netted to give the Red Devils the lead at Old Trafford.But Matt Crooks levelled after the ball appeared to strike Duncan Watmore's hand before he crossed for the equaliser and the match finished 1-1 after extra-time.That led to the match going to penalties, where 19-year-old Anthony Elnaga missed the crucial spot-kick to knock United out of the competiton.Ronaldo was seen with an arm around Elanga as they left the pitch at Old Trafford, and the Portuguese superstar has now broken his silence following the loss.Sharing a post on Instagram on Saturday night, Cristiano shared a photo from his birthday celebrations after he turned 37 the day after the FA Cup defeat.In the photo, Ronaldo is seen alongside partner Georgina Rodriguez and a "CR7" birthday cake.The Portugal international referred to "hard work, high speed, urgent goals, demanding expectations", but appears to have put the FA Cup loss behind him as he shared the things he think "make it all worth it".
