Cristiano Ronaldo ruthlessly taunted as he watches Man Utd pre-season friendly

Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo could only watch from the sidelines as his celebration was mimicked by a Wrexham player during a pre-season friendly at Carrington on Wednesday.

The Portugal captain, 37, played no part in the fixture and his future at Old Trafford remains uncertain as he pushes to leave for a club which can offer him Champions League football this season. He missed the Red Devils' tour of Thailand and Australia for 'family reasons' and only returned to their headquarters this week for showdown talks with manager Erik ten Hag.

United legend Sir Alex Ferguson was present for the discussions but Ronaldo remains reluctant to stay put this summer. It was no surprise he sat out the behind-closed-doors fixture against Wrexham, but he was one of the senior players who watched an inexperienced United line-up win 4-1 against the National League side.
