Cristiano Ronaldo: Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich both reject a transfer for the Manchester United striker

Cristiano Ronaldo held talks over his Man Utd future with boss Erik ten Hag on Tuesday; Portugal captain did not travel on United’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons; the 37-year-old has asked to leave Old Trafford in a desire to play in the Champions League

The 37-year-old arrived at United’s Carrington training ground with his agent Jorge Mendes on Tuesday morning for talks.

Former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was also seen arriving but it is understood he was there for a regular board meeting with chief executive Richard Arnold.

Ronaldo returned to the UK on Monday after missing the club’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons, with the explanation accepted by the club.

Ten Hag admitted he was unclear over the situation ahead of the tour – but Ronaldo is now back in the United setup after training away from the squad in recent weeks.

The Portugal captain has told United he wants to leave this summer amid concerns he will be unable to compete for the biggest trophies at the club.
But United’s stance regarding Ronaldo’s future has remained unchanged: United are willing to listen to offers for Ronaldo this summer, Sky Sports News claims, but the club’s public stance remains that he is not for sale.
Ten Hag said in Bangkok that Ronaldo, who has one year remaining on his United contract, is in his plans for the season ahead and expects him to stay at the club.

“We are planning for Cristiano Ronaldo for the season and that’s it. I’m looking forward to working with him. Cristiano is not for sale. He is in our plans and we want success together,” the Dutchman said.

“He’s not with us and it’s due to personal issues. I spoke with him before this issue came up. I had a conversation with him and I had a good talk. That is between Cristiano and me. What I can confirm is we had a really good conversation together. I didn’t speak to him after (the news).”
