Nottingham Forest will face a Manchester United side without Cristiano Ronaldo when the Premier League season resumes.
The Reds’ first league game after the World Cup break is a trip to Old Trafford. That match will take place on December 27, but Forest’s opponents have already taken a significant decision several weeks before the two sides meet.
United have announced that Ronaldo is to leave the club with immediate effect. They say the decision was made by mutual agreement.
