Despite having Cristiano Ronaldo in their side, Manchester United are having a nightmare in the ongoing Premier League. The team is currently placed at seventh position in the Premier League table, which has not impressed the fans and their star player as well. While giving an interview to Sky Sports, Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his frustration with the team's lackluster performance and sensationally hinted that he may depart the club in the summer.
As per Ronaldo, he can't accept Manchester United finishing anything less than top three, and the club ought to win the league but considering the poor performance of the team it seems difficult to project the team's fortune will improve anytime soon. Ronaldo was quoted saying that, "I don’t accept less than the top three. Manchester United should win the league or be second or third. I don't see any other position for Manchester United."
"In my heart, I don't accept that our mentality be less than being in the top three in the Premier League, in my opinion," Ronaldo stated.
"I don't accept less than the top three."

I believe if we change our mind we can achieve big things: Ronaldo
Ronaldo further added that he does consider the team will be able to turn their season round, regardless of rumors of a dressing room rift at Manchester United. He mentioned, "We can do it better, all of us. I don't want to be here in the club to fight to be in sixth or seventh place. I am here to try to win, to compete. I believe if we change our mind we can achieve big things."
Ronaldo believed that if the team changed their attitude and mindset as well then it can achieve big things. Man United are currently six points behind fourth-placed West Ham United with two games in hand on the Hammers.
