Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United remain in deadlock over his future.
The Portuguese superstar returned to the club’s Carrington training ground this week after missing their pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia.
Ronaldo scored 24 times in 38 games last season but decided that he wants to end his Old Trafford return after just one season, following the club’s failure to secure a Champions League place last term. However, finding a suitor has not proved easy, with a host of European football’s elite shying away from any deal for the 37-year-old.
