EPL: Alex Ferguson Tells Cristiano Ronaldo Club To Play For Next Season

Former Manchester United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson has privately told Cristiano Ronaldo to remain at the club, according to Sunday Mirror.

Manchester United put up another disappointing display on Saturday, going down 4-0 at Brighton.

The result killed every hope of the Red Devils making it to the Champions League next season as they now battle for a place in the Europa League.

Despite the woeful season, veteran forward, Ronaldo was able to score 24 goals in 34 appearances.

But the 37-year-old has faced criticism over his performances and has been accused of not doing enough to support United’s attack.

Ronaldo signed an initial two-year contract with United last August and has the options for an additional 12 months, but the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is already considering his future.

The newspaper reports that the Portugal international and his former boss, Ferguson have met each other at their homes on several occasions.

The report says that the Scot has told his former player to see out his deal with the club.

Erik ten Hag is yet to make a decision about Ronaldo’s future, with the Ajax boss set to move to United once the season is over.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has handed his old club two signings to make in the summer.

Merson wants Arsenal to sign Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez and a new midfielder.

“I would get a centre forward this summer, I would go for Julian Alvarez,” Merson said on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast.

“I am a big fan. If they could get him, I would. I still think they probably need another midfield player as well.”

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has picked the Red Devils defender Luke Shaw as the most improved player in the Premier League following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Speaking on his BBC podcast, Rooney said, “I think, for me, Luke Shaw. I think Luke Shaw has been the most improved player this season.

“I know he is an experienced player now, but I think his level this season has been much better than it has been in recent seasons.

“People might look at Kobbie Mainoo but I don’t think he’s improved. It was just the fact he wasn’t playing under the former manager so it wasn’t good or bad.”

Shaw enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons at Man United and started all of Man United’s Premier League games.
