Cristiano Ronaldo is set to return to the United Kingdom on Monday, as doubts and uncertainty surround his future at Manchester United.
This is Ronaldo’s first visit to the country since announcing his intention to leave Real Madrid this summer.
According to The Athletic, the 37-year-old is expected to meet with senior officials at Old Trafford.
It is also unclear whether Ronaldo will train with new manager Erik ten Hag and the rest of the squad.
United insists that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is not for sale and will remain with the club for the 2022/2023 season.
Ronaldo is so desperate to play in the Champions League next season that he is willing to take a 30% pay cut to join a new club.
After the players were given the day off today, all eyes will be on the AON Training Complex in Carrington tomorrow to see if the galactico participates in training.
United have so far refused his request to leave the club, despite the fact that no other club has approached them about a possible transfer.
Bayern Munich, Napoli, PSG, Chelsea, Juventus, and Real Madrid are said to have passed on the striker.
Ronaldo requested a leave of absence from the club’s southern hemisphere tour due to “family reasons.”
