Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Manchester to discuss his future at Old Trafford

Manchester United's attacking spearhead Cristiano Ronaldo has arrived in Manchester to discuss his future at Old Trafford with boss Erik Ten Hag.

The Portuguese superstar missed United's pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia citing personal reasons. In a bid to play Champions League football this season, Ronaldo has been linked with several clubs but has failed to complete a move.

Earlier, ahead of United's pre-season tour, Ten Hag had confirmed that he had a conversation with Cristiano Ronaldo. "I had a good talk. That is between Cristiano and me. What I can confirm is we had a really good conversation together," he said.

United's new boss had previously said that their ace striker is not for sale this season.

Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford after a 12-year-old gap last season, where he was the club's top-scorer. Still, he could not help his side secure the elusive UEFA Champions League spot.
