After missing the tours of Thailand and Australia due to "family reasons", Cristiano Ronaldo put on the Manchester United shirt for the first time this preseason to face Rayo Vallecano in a friendly, where he only played the first half.
The Portuguese forward, who flew to Manchester last Monday to meet with club executives and his new coach, Erik Ten Hag, expressed his desire to leave the team to play for one that can compete for the Champions League before joining his teammates for training.
Despite having one more year left on his contract with Manchester United, and the option for another, Cristiano wants to break his ties with the Red Devils. However, he received the affection of the fans upon his return to Old Trafford. Numerous children attended the stadium wearing a jersey with his name and the number seven on the back.
