In light of the uncertainty surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo's future, Paul Scholes has declared the Manchester United "circus" to be up for business once more.

Following his choice to leave Juventus, the 37-year-old returned to Old Trafford last summer to nearly unprecedented hype and fanfare.
Although Ronaldo continued to score fantastic goals for himself, United had a terrible season and finished with their lowest-ever Premier League point total.

The penultimate game of United's season saw them suffer their worst defeat, a 4-0 thumping at the hands of Brighton, where Ronaldo was seen grinning at his helpless teammates.
Although Tyrell Malacia was announced on Tuesday as the club's first signing under Erik ten Hag's leadership, the Dutchman's summer rebuild has gotten off to a slow start.
However, Ronaldo is rumored to be upset with United's lack of success throughout the summer window and his desire to play for a Champions League team.
Eirk ten Hag's arrival at Manchester United has been overshadowed by the uncertainty surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo.
Due to a family matter, the former Real Madrid superstar missed two days of preseason practice. It is still unknown if he will join the first team squad before the club's upcoming tour of the Far East.
Although there are few teams able and willing to pay Ronaldo's wages, United is reportedly open to letting him leave. However, they would prefer not to sell him to Premier League rival Chelsea.
Regardless of his future, Scholes vented on social media because he was angry that rumors about his star player had already marred the beginning of Ten Hag's rule.
On Instagram, he wrote, "Let the circus begin."
Gary Neville, a former colleague of Scholes, echoed those thoughts and urged United's top decision-makers to reach a hasty and firm decision.
The only thing that matters in the Ronaldo problem, he claimed on Twitter, is that it gets resolved promptly and decisively.
