Man Utd transfer news: Cristiano Ronaldo offers one-word response to Sporting rumours | Football | Sport

Ronaldo is currently not with the United side on their pre-season tour. He is yet to return to training due to personal problems.

Ten Hag added: “He is not with us and that is due to personal issues. But we are planning with Cristiano for this season, so that’s it and I am looking forward to working with him.

“I spoke with him before this issue came up. I had a really good conversation with him, but that will stay between me and him. But Cristiano is not for sale.”

United start their Premier League season in three weeks’ time against Brighton, not knowing whether Ronaldo will still be at the club. Ten Hag completed his third signing as manager on Sunday, getting a deal for Lisandro Martinez over the line.

Martinez adds to the arrivals of Dutch left-back Tyrell Malacia and free agent signing Christian Eriksen. Frenkie de Jong remains a target but the player is not keen on leaving Barcelona.
