'They are telling lies': Cristiano Ronaldo hits out at the media regarding his Manchester United future

Cristiano Ronaldo has hit out at what he describes as 'lies' in reports about his future at Manchester United and says he has compiled a list of the worst examples in a notebook.

In a reply to a fan account on Instagram which referred to an article linking the United frontman to Atletico Madrid, Ronaldo said: "They will know the truth when they interview in a couple weeks. The media is telling lies. I have a notebook and in the last few months of the 100 news I made, only five were right. Imagine how it is. Stick with that tip."

The Portugal international missed United's pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia for personal reasons as speculation grew over whether he would be leaving Old Trafford.

It has been reported that Ronaldo wants to play Champions League football, but United are adamant that the 37-year-old is not for sale and remains an integral part of new boss Erik ten Hag's plans. Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes in United's 4-0 defeat at Brentford in the Premier League.
