Cristiano Ronaldo back at Manchester United, but his future remains shrouded in uncertainty
- The 37-year-old returned to club’s Carrington base with his agent on Tuesday, but has yet to start preseason training
- Alex Ferguson also seen arriving at training ground, as United unveil Christian Eriksen as their latest summer signing
Cristiano Ronaldo’s future at Manchester United remained shrouded in uncertainty after he returned to the club’s training ground with his agent on Tuesday.
The 37-year-old has yet to start preseason training with United – he missed the team’s tour of Thailand and Australia – and was reportedly holding talks with recently hired manager Erik ten Hag.
There was no update from United about Ronaldo’s current status at the club following his arrival with his agent, Jorge Mendes, at the Carrington training base.
Alex Ferguson, the former United manager who signed Ronaldo for the player’s first spell at the club from 2003-09, arrived at Carrington earlier on Tuesday. Ferguson played an influential role in persuading Ronaldo to return to United last year.
The new Premier League season begins in less than two weeks, with United starting their campaign against Brighton at home on August 7.
United also introduced Christian Eriksen as one of their summer signings on Tuesday, with the Denmark playmaker arriving on a free transfer and saying that speaking to Ten Hag helped persuade him to make the move after spending the second half of last season at Brentford.
