Cristiano Ronaldo has asked to leave Manchester United and the club have said they are reluctant to let go. But britain's Daily Mirror said that if the Portuguese superstar leaves, Tenhag may also benefit even more, and he will get more transfer budget, which may be as high as 80 million pounds!
Although Ronaldo's transfer fee cannot be too high, it is only one or two million pounds. But if he leaves, United can save a lot of money on wages. Cristiano Ronaldo's annual salary at Manchester United is worth £26.52 million, far ahead of all his teammates. Together with the seven first-team players who left earlier, United could total more than £80 million less.
Among Manchester United's full players, Pogba, Cavani, Mata, Nemanja Matic and Jesse Lingard are all high-paid players with a weekly salary of more than £100,000, with only veteran goalkeeper Lee Grant paying less. At the weekend, it was officially announced that the substitute goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who was rented out to Nottingham Forest, also earned as much as 120,000 pounds a week, and next season will be borne by the Premier League promotion team.
The British "Daily Mirror" reported that after calculating that after the departure of the above 7 people, the club's annual salary bill can save 53.64 million pounds. Pogba has the highest salary, with an annual salary of 15.08 million pounds; Cavani came in second with £13 million, Mata at £8.3 million, Nemanja Matic at £6.2 million, Jesse Lingard at £3.9 million and Grant at £1.56 million.
If Ronaldo is sold again, the club will save a total of up to 80.3 million pounds a year in wages. According to the club's top brass, the money will be invested in the transfer budget and will provide incentives for Tenhag's signings if the Glazer family delivers on its promises. United are also likely to continue selling other redundant players this summer, further savings. Striker Martial is also paid £13m a year, £4.6 million for 10,000-thansxaca and £3.9 million for Phil Jones, Eric Baie and others.
Once Cristiano Ronaldo does leave, United are more likely to fulfill Tenhag's desire to bring in Ajax striker Anthony. Ajax priced it at £70m, which the Reds now think is too expensive. But if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves, United will have to bring in a new striker, and Tenghag is expected to achieve his plan to sign Anthony this summer.
The Daily Mirror said Thatnger might even hand over Ronaldo's No. 7 shirt to the 22-year-old. Anthony wore the number 11 shirt in Ajax and Brazil, and has also used the number 39 in the past, the two most used back numbers in his career. But in both São Paulo and Brazil's under-23 teams, Anthony was a No. 7.
Of course, there are also people in manchester United who are eyeing the No. 7 shirt, and England international Sancho, who joined last summer for £73 million, has always liked the No. 7. Last season, because of Cavani's presence, Sancho could only wear the no. 25 for the time being. After Ronaldo returned, through the Premier League special approval, he got the Manchester United No. 7 shirt from Cavani.
Sancho has been looking forward to inheriting the No. 7 shirt after Cristiano Ronaldo, and if someone else wants to wear Manchester United No. 7, this number may once again trigger a battle within the team.
However, the legendary Manchester United No. 7 has become a major spell in recent years, and in the more than ten years since C Ronaldo's £80 million transfer to Real Madrid, there are only a few Red Devils players who have worn Manchester United No. 7 and succeeded, only C Ronaldo himself. And even C Luo, who entered the palace of the second, could not escape a series of harsh criticisms.
