Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed he will play for Manchester United in Sunday’s friendly with Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford.
The 37-year-old met with Erik ten Hag this week to reiterate his desire to leave the club, having missed this summer’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons. It means Ronaldo will play for United for the first time since the 4-0 away defeat to Brighton on May 7.
The superstar has not been included in the 21-man squad that will take on Atletico Madrid in Saturday’s friendly. Ronaldo had previously been linked with a shock move to Atleti before the club’s president dismissed the idea, amid supporters unfurling a 'CR7 not welcome' banner during a friendly.
