Cristiano Ronaldo did not appear at the Manchester United players’ roll call before the start of preparations for the new season.
Erik ten Hag has scheduled a gathering of United players for today, but the club’s biggest stars will not be among them.
Ronaldo asked the club for additional days off due to family reasons.
However, it is suspected that this is not the real reason for his request. Let’s recall that he previously announced that he wants to leave the club in case of a good offer, all because of the performance in the Champions League that he failed to reach with the “Red Devils”.
On his behalf, super agent Jorge Mendes is conducting negotiations with interested parties, and so far Napoli and Chelsea have shown interest.
Interestingly, although the Portuguese still has one year left on his contract with the Old Trafford team, the club’s leaders are determined not to sell him.
On Friday, United will travel to Thailand, where they should play several preparatory matches before the start of the season, and in the coming days the fate of Ronaldo will be known.
