Gary Neville regretted the way Cristiano Ronaldo’s Manchester United career appears set to end.
Sad that it’s come to a point where arguably United’s greatest ever talent is likely to be sacked. It didn’t need to be like this. A mature conversation a few weeks ago between “both parties” could have secured a smooth exit.
