When the transfer attempt failed, he returned to the training ground and smiled and ‘clicked’ with his juniors.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who became a ‘nakdonggang duck’ while trying to leave Manchester United (Man United), an English professional footballer, eventually returned to Manchester United’s training ground.
On the 31st (Korean time), Ronaldo posted a photo of him posing with his juniors at the Manchester United training ground on SNS.
Ronaldo wrote, “I’m training now.”
Ronaldo, a veteran who should serve as the centerpiece of the team, has been a troublemaker for United throughout the summer offseason.
Local reports continued that Ronaldo wanted a transfer to another big club that will participate in the UEFA Champions League next season.
In fact, Ronaldo did not accompany United on their pre-season tours in Thailand and Australia.
Chelsea (England) and Atletico Madrid (Spain) were mentioned as Ronaldo’s next destinations.
But Ronaldo didn’t go anywhere.
There were also reports that a Saudi Arabian club offered him a large sum of money because he was not chosen.
Ronaldo seems to have decided to return to Manchester United after all.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he smiled broadly and took a ‘certification shot’ with his juniors.
Manchester United manager Eric Tenhach announced at a press conference after the friendly match against Atlético Madrid on the 30th that Ronaldo will play in the next friendly against Rayo Vallecano of Spain.
“Ronaldo will be on the roster for the next match,” said Tenhaach. “Let’s see how long Ronaldo can play.”
Tenhach signed a contract with United in April and took over from Ralph Langnick after the 2021-2022 season.
If Ronaldo plays against Vallecano, it will be his first match under coach Tenhach.
The match between Manchester United and Vallecano kicks off at midnight tonight at Old Trafford.
On the other hand, Manchester United lost 1-0 to Atletico Madrid in a friendly match at Uleval Stadium in Oslo, Norway.
Portugal national team Joao Felix, who will face Korea in the group stage of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, scored the final goal.
