Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Man Utd training ground following tragic death of baby son

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Manchester United’s training ground for the first time following the tragic death of his baby boy.

The Portuguese superstar and his partner Georgina Rodriguez confirmed the heartbreaking news on Monday, describing their newborn baby boy as an “angel” while adding that their baby daughter was giving the two "strength" amid the emotional pain.

Ronaldo subsequently sat out United’s trip to Liverpool on Tuesday night which ended in a 4-0 defeat for Ralf Rangnick’s side. United said in a statement ahead of the game: “Family is more important than everything and Ronaldo is supporting his loved ones at this immensely difficult time. As such, we can confirm that he will not feature in the match against Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday evening and we underline the family’s request for privacy.”
