Pay-cut at heart of Ronaldo fury with Man Utd
Posted Tuesday, August 30, 2022 by Caughtoffside.com
Cristiano Ronaldo was furious having to take a pay-cut on last season's wages after Manchester United failed to qualify for the Champions League, it has been revealed.
The Sunday Times says Ronaldo, 37, was left fuming when United finished sixth in the Premier League last term.
The dud ending to Ralf Rangnick's tenure not only saw the club miss out on the continent's top competition.
But it also ensured Ronaldo saw his wages drop from £480,000-a-week to £360k-a-week.
The clause was written into his contract when Ronnie rejoined United from Juventus last year.
And the Portuguese legend has been giving out about the 25 per cent deduction since it kicked in two months ago.
Unhappy Ronaldo has been pushing for an exit this summer despite Erik ten Hag implementing a new style at Old Trafford.
He's started just one of United's four league games under the Dutchman.
