Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has outlined his plan to integrate Cristiano Ronaldo back into the squad, but was unable to give a return date for the striker. The 37-year-old hasn't been involved with the squad for pre-season training and has since been linked with a move away from Old Trafford.
Chelsea are one of the sides said to be interested after owner Todd Boehly held a meeting with agent Jorge Mendes, where the possibility of a switch for Ronaldo was discussed. The talks come at a time where the Blues are looking to shake up their forward options.
Romelu Lukaku has spearheaded a number of expected exits - leaving for Inter Milan on loan - as the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Timo Werner have also been rumoured with a move away. Raheem Sterling was the first men's signing of the Boehly-Clearlake era and signalled a clear intention of change in the front line.
