Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo is yet to return to Manchester United training ahead of the club’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
Manchester United have started preparations ahead of the new season under new coach Erik ten Hag.
Report says Manchester United have given him extra time off to stay in Lisbon with his partner Georgina Rodriguez and their children.
According to the Daily Mail, though, Cristiano Ronaldo is not happy with the idea that he has refused to report for training, and a club spokesperson even stepped forward to clear things up.
Cristiano Ronaldo is likely will not be part of the Manchester United party scheduled to depart for our pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia on Friday,” the club said.
“He has been granted additional time off to deal with a family issue.
“Cristiano Ronaldo remains under contract with Manchester United for another season and is not for sale.”
Now the Premier League side are set to begin a two-week tour of Thailand and Australia without Cristiano Ronaldo joining them.
All of this is happening while his future at Old Trafford is uncertain, having expressed his desire to leave Manchester United this summer due to their absence from the Champions League.
