Cristiano Ronaldo will not be fined by Manchester United - despite failing to return to training or agreeing to go on the club's summer tour.
Erik Ten Hag's squad will fly to Thailand on Friday to begin their pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia - but Ronaldo will not be on the plane. The Portuguese icon has remained in Lisbon this week due to 'family reasons' and has told United he wants to leave Old Trafford due to a combination of a lack of Champions League football and new signings this summer. He could join United for their Australia leg of the tour though this is unlikely.
United insist Ronaldo is not for sale and remain determined to hold him to the final 12 months of his current deal. It has led to a damaging stand-off between the club and Ronaldo that has become an unwanted distraction for new boss Erik Ten Hag.
