Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying some summer sun alongside his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez.
The Manchester United star, who made the decision to return to England last summer, has been snapped whilst on holiday in Ibiza. While some of his teammates are enduring double sessions already, Ronaldo is making the most of his extra time off after competing in the Nations League with Portugal.
The former Real Madrid man was snapped on a private yacht in Ibiza with Rodriguez, taking showers and regularly checking his phone. Ronaldo will no doubt be keeping a close eye on his club's transfer business, with United agreeing a deal with Barcelona for Frenkie de Jong on Tuesday.
Sources have indicated the Red Devils will pay £56m up front for the 25-year-old, with performance-related add-ons potentially taking the total cost of the deal to £70m. It will be the first signing of the Ten Hag era.
United's No.7 will no doubt be delighted by the news, having grown frustrated by the club's lack of transfer activity so far this summer, The Sun reported.
The new manager's arrival did originally cast doubt over Ronaldo's future, with his principles seemingly at odds with the player's style of play. But the new man in charge has reaffirmed that the Portuguese superstar will be part of his plans after he returned to Manchester last summer.
Despite turning 37 last season Ronaldo still managed to score 24 times, often hauling his side out of difficult situations. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is keen to stay put provided he is wanted as part of the rebuild. Ten Hag said the forward would bring "goals" when quizzed on his contributions.

Ronaldo has also been the subject of interest from United's rivals Chelsea. New Blues owner Todd Boehly reportedly met with the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, about a possible swoop whilst Sporting Lisbon, who Ronaldo began his career at, also want to bring him back to the Portuguese capital.
Despite that, major sources at Old Trafford have made it clear that Ronaldo is going nowhere - and that Ten Hag has already included him in his plans for next season. “Cristiano is not for sale,” they said. “We want - and fully expect - him to be with us next season.”
United remain in the market for attacking reinforcements as Ajax's Antony is linked with a switch to the Premier League. He is keen to follow Ten Hag after an impressive year in Amsterdam. His teammate and Argentine international Lisandro Martinez is also being linked as the club look to bolster their defensive ranks.
