Ron trains with the kids
Cristiano Ronaldo prepared for his big return to Manchester United… by training with the kids, writes JACK ROSSER.
Wantaway Ron stated on Friday that “the King” would play in today’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford.
And his return will be a boost for new boss Erik ten Hag after the Red Devils lost their first game of his tenure against Atletico Madrid in Olso.
Joao Felix’s late goal secured a 1-0 victory for Atletico Madrid after United wasted numerous chances in front of goal.
Things got worse when Fred was shown a red card after getting a second yellow for a stamp on Alvaro Morata.
Rashford, Anthony Martial and Harry Maguire all had good openings but lacked the sharpness to put them away – while last season’s top scorer posed for photos with the kids at home.
The superstar posted a photo of herself in training with four youngsters under the caption: “Work in progress”.
Despite preparing to play under Ten Hag for the first time, Ronaldo has not changed his stance that he wants to leave.
Ron and his agent, Jorge Mendes, have told United to set their price for the former Real Madrid man, claiming there is an offer from an unnamed club ready to leave.
