Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to pull on a Manchester United shirt for the first time in two-and-a-half months as the Red Devils host Spanish side Rayo Vallecano in a friendly on Sunday.
The Portugal captain, 37, has announced he will return to action for his club this Sunday despite the fact he was left out of the squad to face Atletico Madrid in Oslo, Norway on Saturday. He is yet to make an appearance under Erik ten Hag having missed United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia for 'family reasons'.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, has been pushing to leave Old Trafford to join a club which can offer him Champions League football, but his manager has insisted he is going nowhere. The striker has been forced to address claims about his future with just over one week remaining until the start of United's Premier League campaign.
