Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo received a generous bonus from Manchester United, after which he notified the management of his desire to leave the club. It is reported by The Sun.
The publication cited a source inside the club. The 37-year-old Portuguese told Manchester United of his desire to leave the club a few days after paying a six-figure bonus.
