Allegri addresses Ronaldo exit after Juventus suffer shock defeat to Empoli

The Italian manager has warned that his side must move on from the loss of a key performer quickly after seeing them suffer another setback in Serie A

Massimiliano Allegri addressed Cristiano Ronaldo's departure from Juventus after their shock 1-0 defeat to Empoli on Saturday.

Ronaldo reached an agreement to re-join Manchester United last week after informing Juve officials of his desire to leave the club, with his three-year stint in Turin set to officially come to an end before the summer transfer window closes on August 31.

The Portuguese made a cameo from the bench during Juve's 2-2 draw with Udinese on the opening weekend of the new Serie A season, but he was absent for their trip to Empoli who ultimately earned a 1-0 victory against Allegri's side.
