Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara is baffled by Manchester United's handling of Cristiano Ronaldo's situation.

O'Hara has slammed the club for allowing Ronaldo to engineer his potential exit, insisting that the Portugal legend is their "best player".

He said, "Ronaldo was their top scorer last season, stepped up in big moments for the club. He's left because he can see they're a sinking ship.

"They're a shambles for letting him leave, he's their best player. How many times has he stepped up? Ronaldo, in those big moments, drags them through.

"He carried them for months on end... he has earned the right to say, 'the future isn't bright with Manchester United, I want to win trophies'."
