Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Wayne Rooney has urged his former club, Manchester United to let Cristiano Ronaldo leave Old Trafford this summer.<\/p>\n

Thirty-seven-year-old Ronaldo is said to have been pushing to leave Old Trafford this summer as he desires to play for a team in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

But the Portugal captain is yet to find a top club in Europe, with the likes of Chelsea, Barcelona and Bayern Munich all backing out.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo is said to have told Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag that he is ready to go all out against Brighton this weekend as he looks set to remain at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

But Rooney thinks it was time to say goodbye to the football icon, urging United to offload his former teammate before the transfer window closes.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnited are doing everything to bring Frenkie de Jong in and they could certainly do with a midfielder. A No. 9 too,\u201d Rooney said in his column for The Sunday Times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think United should let Cristiano Ronaldo go. It\u2019s not that Ronaldo can\u2019t play in a Ten Hag team. He can play in any team. Ronny will always score you goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut my personal view is that United aren\u2019t ready to challenge for the title now, so the aim has to be to build a team that can win the league in the next three to four years, and you have to plan for that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
