Keeping him when he wanted to go, and then not playing him, was always going to end up with him being malcontent.
Ronaldo has handled this terribly this season, but honestly Man U let it get to this point.

They didn't keep him. As devo says, there were zero suitors.
Have you considered that Ronaldo could have offered to rip up the contract for say half the money which might have made him more attractive?
This is not a trying to offload him or get him out on loan scenario. United wanted his services for the season. Ronaldo wanted out.
So, basically you're saying United handled this badly by not offering to pay a chunk of his wages to facilitate him holding them to ransom yet at no time did we hear of him offering to void/renegotiate the contract for less money to make a move more possible?
The main barrier to him moving was his wages. Why should United be paying a chunk of that when they wanted to keep him?
Again. They weren't resistant to letting him move on. No one wanted him.
