Cristiano Ronaldo informed Ralf Rangnick he was ready to return for Manchester United during a conversation at the club's training ground following the heartbreaking death of his baby son.
Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, confirmed the devastating news of their newborn's passing as they announced the birth of their daughter. As expected, the Portuguese superstar was not available for the Premier League trip to Liverpool on Tuesday night, which United lost 4-0.
In a statement before the match, the Red Devils said: "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."
