Cristiano Ronaldo travelling back to England for talks with Manchester United
Cristiano Ronaldo is travelling back to England for talks with Manchester United over his future, The Athletic understands.
Ronaldo is yet to work under new manager Erik ten Hag as he missed United’s pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia, citing family reasons.
The 37-year-old is expected in Manchester on Monday and will hold discussions with United, having informed them of his wish to leave this summer if a suitable offer arrives.
United's stance remains that Ronaldo is not for sale and he will be an important part of their squad in the 2022-23 campaign.
It is unclear at this stage if he will train with United on Tuesday, but he is expected to have face-to-face dialogue with Ten Hag in the coming days.
His return is believed to be viewed by the Old Trafford club as a positive sign.
