Cristiano Ronaldo will not travel with Manchester United for their pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia after the Portugal striker was given additional time off to deal with a family issue.

 

Ronaldo was absent on Monday when new United boss Erik ten Hag welcomed the club’s international players to Carrington for the start of pre-season training.

 

The forward told the club he was dealing with a family matter and remained absent on Thursday.

Is this to provide a bit of TLC to his recently damaged Bugatti Veyron?????

 

Can see there being a fair number of cheesed off United supporters if they have paid the extortionate sums for a ticket to the game.

For reference (BBC Sport - UK)

 

"Cristiano Ronaldo would not be with them when they fly to Bangkok on Friday ................ Ronaldo has been allowed to remain in Portugal, with United's permission, to deal with an unspecified family matter.

The 37-year-old, it needs to be remembered, lost a son in April, when his partner gave birth to twins, only one of whom survived.

He (Ten Hag) knows Ronaldo will be missing for the start of his tenue. In all likelihood he is going to be absent for the entire trip (which includes Australia)".

ONE man does not make a team. That's why they were down in the Premiership. 

As City can survive without Jesus.
