The club doesn't have any suitable offers. United will have to spend on a CF or another forward regardless within the next 12 months. This wasn't all going to be changed in one summer window.
Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Think of the sponsorships
He probably knows a replacement won't be signed and Martial won't stay fit for the whole season, so what choice does he have? Ronaldo still offers goals even if our football will probably suffer for it.
Agree with the majority of your post, but the bolded; there’s plenty of reasons to lie, not necessarily that ten Hag is, mind.
You jest but apparently TeamViewer were one of the sponsors unhappy he's only here for one season.
He’s travelling back to tell us he won’t train?
We are short on strikers even with Ronaldo staying, it’s a tricky situation, if he goes, we need two strikers, one center forward and one versatile attacker, and I highly doubt we would be doing that. As much I dislike the way he’s treated us, we need him, if ETH can make him work harder or somehow make it work with him playing then that’s the best solution for us realistically.
I think it's best for us to keep him this season IF he's willing to et his head down but we do need some closure on this situation. I still don't understand the timing of his request to leave given he knew we wouldnt have CL football since April, unless it's genuinely about our poor transfer window.
Fully expect him to tell Ten Hag he will never play for the club again. It's for the best.
If he stays it has to be purely on ETH terms, subbed off anytime ETH feels like, benched anytime ETH feels like and must play to instructions 100%.
Some might even said he was treated like a slave.
Funny thing is how the clarity at the position might have just made them get Haaland instead. Over there Ronaldo would have been in the middle of his 2 year deal still demanding to start.
How come he's just been allowed to do whatever he wants to do?
Just let him go and let’s rebuild this team
If he stays it will another wasted season with the Ronaldo show again
I am honestly tired of Ronaldo FC
This is Man Utd and it’s time to move on but I guess the Glazers are only interested in revenue and how many shirts he can sell

‘I stay’
'For you Sir Erik'
Hmm, don't want to sound like a cold-hearted bastard, but he was back playing ball a week after losing his child, given the pictures of his mammy in the sun last week, she seems happy and not ill, also same source, his sheriff looks very happy and content with life, so has anyone any idea as to what these "family issues" are ?
You mean the people already locked into contracts ? feck them, as what are they going to do, break the contract and get sued ?
I read somewhere that he is terrified Messi is going to break his CL record and that's the reason he wants out and watching the narcissist since he first arrived here, I can see that be closer to the truth as opposed to these "family issues".
What? that makes no sense and is a pretty low quality post.
What has he done now? He is on compassionate leave or something of that sort.
Please, Ronaldo just leave. This will be a 12 month saga if he stays.
why does he need to come back for talks about his future? Just go straight back into training.
Unless you think it’s a very unfortunate coincidence that he needed family leave at the same time his agent is trying to get him out of the club.
Personally, had City signed Ronaldo, they still would've made a big move for Haaland.
City have more power in their armoury in dealing with this situation had it ever occurred for them . They've got arguably the best manager in the game, they've been hugely successful and plus they're utterly ruthless in the market. Ronaldo and Mendes wouldn't have tried this sh*t with them because, even if Ronaldo were to be used sparingly, there would still be clarity on their situation plus, overall, City can offer something Ronaldo fundamentally wants and that is continued CL success, even if he may need to occasionally play second fiddle to Halaand.
City would've had the upper hand in this situation. It wouldn't have bothered them if Ronaldo went elsewhere because Ronaldo and Mendes need City more than City need them.
And that would've kept Ronaldo and Mendes on their toes.
Also, its a sad indictment on United at this current time. Like it or not Ronaldo knows we still may need him. Martial's form in recent times, irrespective of his good pre-season start, is erratic. Rashford is also much the same. That's why you see reports of United willing to give Ronaldo the benefit of the doubt ,even when he and Mendes have been trying to get another big move elsewhere. United , from the outside, are coming across quiet weak but we're in a situation where we may need him, especially if we continue to struggle bringing in other offensive players .
Would be nice to see United show some cojones though and basically isolate Ronaldo but with the wage/contract he's on its very, very unlikely.
Overall, I'd be surprised if Ronaldo finds another club. Think he'll be with us atleast til January.

Because he wants out.
Wonder what a "Do you want Ronaldo to be sold?" poll would say at this point.
You underestimate the size of Ronaldo ego if you think he'll play as a second choice to anyone in any club.
Reports seem to say that Ronaldo would be relatively content in cutting down some of his game time if he were in a more successful side.
Think another report suggested he no longer wanted to carry teams.
If there’s 2 things I hate it’s kink shaming and dreadful analogies. That post managed to combine the two.Where am I?
This took a turn!
Well if that's true then its good, but last season when he got subbed off by Rangnick you saw the whiny twat he was right?
I'll believe it when I see it
His entire history and pattern of behavior lends me nothing to believe that he'd accept being second fiddle or a bench option even at this stage of his career
How very cynical of you, he lost a child not long a go and who knows if the compassionate leave is related to that or not.
This place in 2 months: “CR7 for the golden boot! Sueee. The GOAT! feck Pessi.”
If he had any sense he'll wouldn't have created all this fuss, at this stage in his career he should play the role of a big brother in the squad.
Play when the coach needs you, get rested at times, be the guy giving pointers to the younger players...that's the only way he could "win" this return to United.
But he has overestimated himself being the same diva but forgetting he isn't 28 anymore.

Sure but he saw his teammates as inferior to himself. He seemed abit more content when Zidane was doing to it.
Plus, like I was alluding too, if Ronaldo is in a more successful side with top talent comparable to himself he's alittle more toned down.
We're clearly not at the top and the whiney little git knows it.
I wish he'd just go. The little sod coming back with his tail between his legs.
Was there going to be any other outcome?
He isn't a player for the top either that's why no one wanted him, we know that now too.
The fact we are briefing this nonsense is a joke. How are we openly telling the world we don’t have a clue what this guy wants to do but we hope he sides with us.
Let’s hope ETH puts some authority down on this circus.
