Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed he will play for Manchester United in Sunday’s friendly with Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford. The 37-year-old met with Erik ten Hag this week to reiterate his desire to leave the club, having missed this summer’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons.
It means Ronaldo will play for United for the first time since the 4-0 away defeat to Brighton on May 7. The superstar has not been included in the 21-man squad that will take on Atletico Madrid in Saturday’s friendly.
Ronaldo had previously been linked with a shock move to Atleti before the club’s president dismissed the idea, amid supporters unfurling a 'CR7 not welcome' banner during a friendly.

Responding to an Instagram post about his omission from the United squad in Norway, he responded: “Sunday the king plays.” Ronaldo scored 24 goals in his homecoming campaign last season, and Ten Hag has underlined that he remains part of his plans despite his exit wish.
