Cristiano Ronaldo has been open in his ambition to move on from Manchester United and take up a new challenge. It comes after Ronaldo did not report for pre-season training at the club's Carrington training complex three weeks ago and has been absent from their tour of Thailand and Australia due to a family issue.
Two days before United's internationals' scheduled return date for training, it emerged that the Portuguese superstar wished to leave the club over their failure to qualify for the Champions League and slow movement in the transfer market.
Since then, though, United have gone on to make three first-team signings - signings that many would agree improve United's squad in different departments with Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez. We know United aren't done yet, too, with the Frenkie de Jong saga ongoing, taking twists and turns seemingly every day.
