We need players who can run – English club snubs move for Ronaldo after Man Utd exit

Former Manchester City defender, Vincent Kompany has said he only wants “players who can run” in his Burnley squad.

Kompany stated this in reaction to Cristiano Ronaldo becoming a free agent on Tuesday.

Manchester United have announced the termination of Ronaldo’s contract following his interview with Piers Morgan last week.

Kompany, who is now the head coach of Burnley in the English Championship side Burnley, insists everyone else lost except Red Devils boss, Erik ten Hag.

He said: “I think in the end everyone loses except for perhaps the Manchester United manager.

“I think it’s a problem that’s resolved and they will move on from this I’m sure.”

With speculations now rife over Ronaldo’s destination, Kompany has made it clear they won’t make a move for the 37-year-old.

“We need players who can run,” he simply replied when asked.
