Cristiano Ronaldo changes Instagram profile picture from him in a Real Madrid shirt to him donning the Portugal kit in move that will excite Manchester United fans
One commentator wrote on social media that he had 'never done this in the past' - is he nearing a Bernabeu exit?
CRISTIANO RONALDO has dumped his profile photo of him in a Real Madrid shirt in a move that will send Manchester United fans into meltdown.
Yesterday SunSport revealed how the 31-year-old megastar sensationally told Madrid he wants to leave them and move back to Manchester United, according to reports in Spain and Portugal.
And today, Ronaldo decided to change up his Instagram profile pic, swapping the Real Madrid one with another showing him in a Portugal kit.
Of course it could be because he is representing Portugal in the Confederations Cup, but according to one Social media user, "he has never done this in the past".
It led to many speculating that he could indeed be seeking an exit from the La Liga champions.
One post from a United fan read: "I am in full muppetry mode, I think he's actually coming".
Another added: "If Ronaldo signs for us, I'll sing and play his chant on guitar, wearing only a hat, and my wife's smallest panty".
While 'Lukas' simplyt wrote: "It's happening".
The four-time Ballon d’Or winner has enjoyed another sensational season at the Bernabeu but is said to feel the club has not protected him sufficiently after he was charged with allegedly evading £13million in tax.
Real Madrid appeared to completely back him, but a different picture has since emerged which may suggest why he wants out after eight years at the club.
The shocking news was backed up hours later on the website of newspaper Marca, which is viewed as Madrid’s mouthpiece.
The breakdown may be linked to reports in El Confidencial which claimed that, as it emerged that news of Ronaldo’s charge was going to break, Real contacted all the Spanish media outlets and requested them not to publish pictures of Ronaldo in a Los Blancos shirt when covering the story.
Ronaldo, who left Manchester United to join Real Madrid in 2009 and won everything with Los Blancos, was also puzzlingly left out of a video promo for Madrid’s new kit.
