Erik ten Hag could be forced to reintegrate Cristiano Ronaldo into the Manchester United squad at the behest of Joel Glazer - just weeks after the American got his own way over Anthony Martial.
Ronaldo has made it clear that he would like to quit Old Trafford this summer in the wake of the club's disastrous Premier League campaign last year. The 37-year-old is desperate to continue playing Champions League football and is willing to leave United just 12 months after returning to the club to ensure he will continue to challenge for major honours in the twilight years of his career.
Despite Ronaldo's stance, United have been reluctant to consider parting ways with the veteran striker - although reports this week have suggested that Ten Hag is now open to granting Ronaldo's wish due to concerns over morale in the camp.
