Manchester United 'warn wantaway Cristiano Ronaldo that he MUST travel on their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia this week' after the striker's bombshell demand that the Red Devils let him leave this summer

Wantaway Cristiano Ronaldo has been told by Manchester United that he must attend the club's upcoming pre-season tour of Australia and Thailand, according to reports.

The Portuguese star stunned Old Trafford on Saturday by handing in a transfer request, frustrated both by the lack of new signings and bewildered by the club's decision to appoint three managers in quick succession after the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Red Devils, who returned to pre-season training at the start of the week following a disappointing sixth place finish last campaign, jet off on a two-and-a-half week tour on Friday.
