Cristiano Ronaldo’s Tuesday meeting has yielded no positive outcome as he has asked the club to end his contract to allow him to join a Champions League side. Despite Ronaldo’s stance, Manchester United have insisted the forward is not for sale as they are yet to receive any formal bid for his services. Talks over the 37-year-old to make commitments to the Red Devils proved abortive but he is expected to carry on professionally.
Ronaldo had missed United’s pre-season tour in Thailand and Australia respectively but was available for a medical checkup on Wednesday at which he watched his side’s 4-1 victory against Wrexham behind closed doors. It is believed the Portuguese superstar will be available for the pre-season fixture against Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford on Sunday. Chelsea had withdrawn their bid for the superstar a while back while Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid appeared to publicly rule themselves out this week.
