According to rumors in Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo allegedly warned Manchester United's inner circle that if they don't buy players soon, he'll start thinking about his immediate future at Old Trafford. The senior 37-year-old is ready to complete the second year of his contract with United, but as of right now, he doesn't seem too impressed by the team's lack of market productivity following such a disastrous year.
Before the final game of the 2021/22 season, a new manager, Erik ten Hag, took over, but as negotiations continue,While negotiations with Barcelona for his main target Frenkie de Jong continue, the Dutchman has failed to add any reinforcements to his poor roster.
The majority of the Big Six, on the other hand, can't say the same because they've moved rapidly to add new recruits to their ranks.
Erling Haaland has joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund, and Marc Cucurella and Kalvin Phillips are now on the roster.
Calvin Ramsay and Fabio Carvalho have already joined at Anfield, and Liverpool has acquired Darwin Nunez for a potentially club-record sum.

While Arsenal signed Fabio Vieira from Porto, Tottenham also signed Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, and Yves Bissouma.
Ronaldo is reportedly getting frustrated with United's lack of activity during the summer transfer window, which could directly affect his future. This is according to Record in Portugal.
If United fails to impress in the transfer market, he reportedly told his close circle that he will look to leave before the start of the new season.
Although John Murtough, the director of football, has several hats in the air, not much has happened since the window opened over two weeks ago.
De Jong, who has constantly stated his preference to remain with Barcelona for the upcoming season, may soon get a higher offer from United.
However, Ten Hag has continued to risk his harm because Ajax winger Antony is also a strong target.
The 22-year-old Brazilian, who won the Eredivisie title last season under the new United manager, is currently the subject of preliminary negotiations at Old Trafford.
Despite this, there have been no indications that a deal is imminent. United is anticipated to start the bidding at £40 million, which is £20 million less than Ajax's $60 million estimate.
However, United and Watford are in negotiations over a deal for goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann, who may replace the departed Dean Henderson.
With all due respect to the Austrian, Ronaldo, who is keen for United to create an impression, is not expected to be thrilled by the transfer.
International player for Portugal has already spoken with Ten Hag about his ambitions for the upcoming campaign and stated at the beginning of May that United supporters must give the Dutchman time to leave the team.
Ronaldo said ManUtd.com, "What I know about him is he performed a wonderful job for Ajax and that he's an experienced coach. But we must give him some time.
The way he wants things to be needs to alter. Naturally, I hope we succeed because if you succeed, Manchester as a whole will succeed as well. I hope the best for him.
"Both the players and the fans are delighted and enthusiastic. I wish him the best and I hope we can work together again next year.
