Cristiano Ronaldo breaks silence after fresh transfer blow as he trains away from Man Utd

Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has ended his social media hiatus to show fans he is still working as hard as ever to get in shape for the upcoming season.

The Portugal forward, 37, has been training alone after he was left out of the Red Devils squad which travelled to Thailand for the club's pre-season tour. The reason cited for his omission was 'family reasons' and he may yet join his teammates for the next leg in Australia, although this is viewed as increasingly unlikely.

Ronaldo not travelling to the Far East came a matter of days after he dropped a transfer bombshell by asking to leave Old Trafford. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was frustrated by United's lack of business in the summer transfer window and their failure to qualify for the Champions League last season.
