Cristiano Ronaldo is not expected to report for Manchester United pre-season training today due to family reasons, as huge uncertainty over his future at the club lingers.
United have accepted the explanation for his absence. Ronaldo was due back for his first day of pre-season under Erik ten Hag on Monday but will now delay his return.
The news of delayed return comes days after he told the club that he wants to leave should they receive a suitable offer amid his concerns that the club is not moving forward quickly enough.
