Man Utd respond after Cristiano Ronaldo leaves pre-season friendly before full-time

Manchester United insist they have 'no issue' with Cristiano Ronaldo leaving Old Trafford before the end of the club's final pre-season friendly.

Ronaldo, 37, was seen departing the stadium after he was substituted at half-time in Sunday evening's 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano. His 45-minute outing against the Spanish club was his first appearance of pre-season after he missed United's tour of Thailand and Australia due to 'family reasons', while he was also left out of the squad to face Atletico Madrid in Norway on Saturday.

The Portuguese superstar is hoping to swap the Red Devils for a club which can offer him Champions League football this season, so his decision to leave before full-time cast further doubt over his commitment to Erik ten Hag's project.
