Ronaldo still quit practicing at Man Utd
Ronaldo was absent for "family reason" in the first two training sessions on July 4 and July 5. Man Utd accepted this explanation and asked Ronaldo to return from July 6, but the Portuguese striker once again refused. According to the Daily Mail source, Old Trafford's owner does not know when the 37 -year -old striker returns and has participated in the pre -season trip in Southeast Asia and Australia.
Man Utd has gathered from the beginning of last week. The players who are duty in the national team in June, including Ronaldo, are allowed to assemble later on Monday 4/7.
Earlier, Ronaldo had asked to leave if there was a reasonable proposal to send to the club leadership. He was worried that Man Utd could not compete next season and wanted to continue playing in the Champions League in the remaining period of his career.
Former defender Gary Neville warned Man Utd to resolve Ronaldo's future as soon as possible to avoid affecting the plans of new coach Erik Ten Hag. He wrote on Twitter: "The only important factor of Ronaldo's future is that it is handled in a decisive and quick manner. This cannot be a story disturbing the team in the next two months."
Ronaldo's most potential landing is Chelsea, when the representative of Jorge Mendes met the new owner of this club Todd Boehly to discuss. In addition, Mendes also negotiated with Bayern and Napoli over the past weeks, but has not reached any agreement. Ronaldo's $ 570,000 week salary is a big barrier.
Man Utd is said to have no intention of selling Ronaldo and want him to respect the last year of the contract. Ten HAG also planned Ronaldo - the number one striker of Man Utd last season with 24 goals - becoming a key factor on the club next season.
This weekend, Man Utd will go to Thailand to be friendly with Liverpool in Bangkok on July 12. After that, Ten HAG's teachers and students went to Australia and met Melbourne Victory on July 15, Crystal Palace 19/7 in Melbourne and Aston Villa in Perth on July 23. "Red Devils" then met Atletico in Norway on July 30 and Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford at the end of the pre -season match on July 31.
