Former Manchester United defender, Mikael Silvestre, has advised the Red Devils that it will be best if wantaway forward Cristiano Ronaldo stays at the club this summer.
Silvestre believes Ronaldo will be an important figure in the Man United dressing room.
The Portuguese captain, who has 12 months remaining on his current deal at Old Trafford, has requested that Man United allow him to depart if a suitable offer arrives this summer.
The 37-year-old is seemingly unsettled at Man United after they failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
Speaking to LordPing, Silvestre said: “It will be best if Cristiano stays as he is an important figure in the dressing room. He showed he can deliver and score goals and he is still top class.
“Cristiano in a good mood and in good form is a big asset for Manchester United and he will be for the new manager [Erik ten Hag].”
Ronaldo was Man United’s top goal scorer last season with 24 goals in 38 appearances across all competitions.
