Cristiano Ronaldo drives into Man Utd training with Jorge Mendes for showdown talks

Cristiano Ronaldo has arrived at Manchester United's Carrington training ground with agent Jorge Mendes to discuss his future at the club.

The 37-year-old wants to leave the Red Devils less than 12 months after his sensational homecoming. Ronaldo, who made his way to Carrington around 11am - just five minutes before none other than Sir Alex Ferguson arrived at Carrington following him and Mendes - handed in a bombshell transfer request just days before he was due to jet off on United's pre-season tour. Instead of joining his teammates, the superstar stayed at home in Portugal for "family reasons."

New Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag, who's set to hold talks with Ronaldo today after arriving around 10:15am, insists that the striker is "not for sale." United also expect Ronaldo to carry out his contractual duties if a suitable buyer isn't found. Atletico Madrid are the club most heavily linked with a move, as Mirror Football understands that Old Trafford chiefs are willing to let their No.7 leave on loan - but only if he signs a contract extension.
