Lionel Messi has already admitted that he would relish the opportunity to play alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese ace has been linked with a number of clubs, including Messi's Paris Saint-Germain, having told United he wants to leave if a suitable bid is placed.
Ronaldo was expected to return to United training on Monday after being allowed an extra week off due to his involvement in the Nations League with Portugal. However, the 37-year-old has not returned due to 'family reasons'.
On Thursday, MEN Sport reported that he had been granted additional time off, meaning he would not be travelling with his teammates to Thailand on Friday. Whilst a number of potential suitors have been mentioned, there has not been much talk of any concrete interest.
