Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has claimed it is "unacceptable" that Cristiano Ronaldo and his team-mates left their pre-season friendly against Rayo Vallecano early. It comes after the Portuguese international was photographed leaving the game before full-time, continuing rumours surrounding his future.
The 37-year-old is said to be open to a move away from United this summer, with the forward looking to play at the highest level in the twilight of his career. Plenty of sides have been linked with a move, including Chelsea, with new owner Todd Boehly holding talks with agent Jorge Mendes over a potential transfer.
It comes as the Blues look to reshuffle the squad in the transfer market, with club-record signing Romelu Lukaku leaving for Inter Milan on loan. It leaves Thomas Tuchel still needing reinforcements, especially in the forward areas, with the German coaching bemoaning his lack of signings with issues arising from having the "same players" at his disposal.
