Cristiano Ronaldo was not with the Manchester United squad on Friday night as they met at the Lowry Hotel ahead of the weekend game against Leicester City.
United are back in Premier League action after the international break and host Brendan Rodgers' Foxes as they look to make the most of their final nine games of the season. A top-four place looks unlikely, with Arsenal still in pole position.
Ronaldo played 180 minutes across two World Cup qualifiers as Portugal secured their spot in Qatar, but was not among the United players gathering with Ralf Rangnick's 21-man squad. His girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez is pregnant, which may be the reason for his absence.
