Manchester United teammates have grown tired of Cristiano Ronaldo's behaviour, it has been reported.

ESPN says Ronaldo viewed as a 'pain in the a***' by his United team-mates, who are said to have celebrated when they found out he wanted to leave the club.

The 37-year-old stated his desire to quit Old Trafford at the start of July, but he is yet to secure a move away with less than 72 hours of the transfer window remaining.

Ronaldo has become a 'divisive' figure in the squad as he has been unforgiving of his team-mates' shortcomings.

The report adds that he expects players like Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford to perform like Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney - stars during Ronaldo's first spell at Old Trafford - and is critical when they do not reach these heights.

Therefore, United's players are said to have been filled with 'joy' when it became clear that 'pain in the a***' Ronaldo wanted to leave.
