Manchester United legend Roy Keane has taken aim at agent Jorge Mendes over his handling of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Keane suggested United need to find a solution to the Ronaldo problem, as he insisted last season’s top scorer needs to be integrated back into the squad.
“You have to try and keep Ronaldo because he’s a brilliant player, but we don’t know Ronaldo’s behaviour when he’s back in the building,” said Keane to the Sunday World.
“I don’t think it’s as big of a deal as everyone’s making out. When you’re a manager, trouble comes your way, he has to deal with it.
“I think it can work out well for United. My worry is if he stays and United don’t start great, and he’s resentful to the manager, then it could get ugly.
“A lot of the issue is Ronaldo not playing in the Champions League for his ego, ‘brand’ or whatever.
“Why did his agent not have if Manchester United didn’t get in the Champions League there’s an option for both parties to have a look at it? If you’ve got this ‘super agent’ who has got unbelievable contacts and brilliant in terms of negotiations, why doesn’t he have that in Ronaldo’s contract?”
