Cristiano Ronaldo has arrived at Manchester United’s training ground Carrington with his agent Jorge Mendes for talks about his future at the club..

The Athletic reported that Ronaldo, 37, was travelling back to England on Monday to hold discussions with the club, having informed them of his intentions to leave this summer if a suitable offer arrives.

Ronaldo is yet to work under new manager Erik ten Hag as he missed United’s pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia, citing family reasons.

United continue to insist that Ronaldo is not for sale and will be an important member of the team ahead of the 2022-23 season.

His return is believed to be viewed by the Old Trafford club as a positive sign.

Sources around the matter suggest it is increasingly likely that Ronaldo remains at United, but there is still a lack of clarity about the situation.

Ronaldo has 12 months remaining on his current United contract after rejoining them from Juventus last summer, but a lack of Champions League football this coming season, and the determination to fight for trophies, is thought to be part of the reasoning behind his desire to leave.

United begin their 2022-23 Premier League season at home to Brighton and Hove Albion on August 7.
