DBasia.news – There is still no certainty regarding the existence of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United. Now the Red Devils are ready to continue their activities without CR7.
Ronaldo is actually still under contract until next year. Manchester United has no intention of selling him before the cooperation between the two parties ends.
But Ronaldo reportedly submitted a transfer request to the club’s top officials. The absence of Manchester United from the 2022-2023 Champions League is said to be the main reason.
Ronaldo was then quickly linked with a number of big clubs participating in the Champions League. Some of them are Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Napoli.
The situation became more complicated after Ronaldo did not appear following pre-season training. The Portuguese superstar reasoned that he was facing family issues.
Ronaldo still didn’t show up when the Manchester United squad group flew to Asia and Australia for a pre-season tour. The 37-year-old player will almost certainly miss his team’s challenge to Liverpool at the Rajamangala Stadium, Tuesday (12/7).
According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United are still hoping that Ronaldo can join in on this pre-season tour. His presence is awaited until this weekend.
After the deadline, Manchester United are ready to go through the pre-season tour in his absence. Erik ten Hag is also disinterested about Ronaldo’s absence.
The Dutch manager is focused on finding the best composition to start the new season. This will automatically make Ronaldo not the first choice.
If there is no significant development, Manchester United would possibly sell Ronaldo in the remaining time. But the final decision seems to be decided after completing the pre-season tour.
