Ronaldo has not joined Manchester United's team for their pre-season in Thailand and Australia. The forward cited 'family reasons' for him not joining the club with several reports claiming that he is seeking a way out of Old Trafford this summer. Manchester United's failure to qualify for the Champions League is thought to have influenced this decision by Ronaldo as he continues to stay away from the team. Manchester United have officially announced that they have given a leave to the player. Even when he is not with the team, Ronaldo has not stopped putting in the hard yards. A day ago, he shared a picture of himself working out in the gym.
The Red Devils have time and again maintained that Ronaldo is not for sale and ten Hag said that the former Ballon d'Or champion is very much in his plans. With a lot of time still left in the transfer window, it remains to be seen how this saga unfolds.
