Manchester United's share price has fallen to its lowest point in history with £50m wiped off the club's market value since news emerged that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave.
The 37-year-old's returned last summer saw United break shirt sale records and provided a huge commercial boost to the club in the process.
However, since the Portuguese forward announced his intentions to depart, the MANU share price has dropped a further 5% from 11.01 to 10.42 – its lowest ever price.
Anaam Raza of Saxo Markets said: “Manchester United's share price fell to an all-time low last week following the news that star player Cristiano Ronaldo has asked to leave the club.
“Since the reports emerged, $60million (£50million) has been wiped off the club's market value with its share price falling another 5% to its lowest point since joining the New York Stock Exchange in 2012.
“The team's failure to capture Champions League football this season has coincided with the downward trajectory of the club's shares – falling 37% since October."
