He wants to leave the club this summer. He has returned to Manchester but has not yet trained with the team. Earlier, Ten Hag had told me that Ronaldo is in United\u2019s plans and is \u201cnot for sale\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Ronaldo joined United again after spending time with Real Madrid and Juventus. After the tour, Ten Hag claimed he spoke with Ronaldo, who explained, \u201cI had a good talk,\u201d as reported by\u00a0<em>BBC Sport. <\/em>He further said, \u201cThat is between Cristiano and me\u201d. The manager of the Red Devil made sure that he had some positive discussions with the player from Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo skipped the club\u2019s return to pre-season training at Carrington, and his absence from the tour fueled rumours about his future. Instead, he practised at the headquarters of the Portuguese national team. He has one year and one extra year left on his contract with United and will play in the Europa League for the first time after United\u2019s sixth-place result in the Premier League prevented them from qualifying for the Champions League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronaldo skipped the club\u2019s return to pre-season training at Carrington, and his absence from the tour fueled rumours about his future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":169,"featured_media":34160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[321,3257,418,249,218],"class_list":["post-11691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-cristiano-ronaldo","tag-erik-ten-hag","tag-europa-league","tag-manchester-united","tag-premier-league"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/169"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
