Cristiano Ronaldo made a return to the Premier League and his boyhood club last summer. However, the Portuguese superstar is disappointed with the state of affairs at Old Trafford. “Of course he’s not happy! ‘You’re talking about Cristiano Ronaldo here! I don’t understand how it’s a big story that Cristiano Ronaldo is not happy with the way things are at Man United. He can’t be. I wouldn’t be,” said Ferdinand said on his FIVE YouTube Channel.
“He’s not happy with missing out on the Champions League, he doesn’t even know what the Europa League soundtrack sounds like! When that comes on, he’s going to be thinking “what dance am I in here?”‘
Manchester United started their pre-season training under new manager Erik Ten Hag but Cristiano Ronaldo has been missing from the team’s training after citing personal reasons. Various reports claim that Ronaldo is in Portugal with one of his family members reportedly sick.

The Red Devils begin their pre-season tour this week on Friday as the Manchester Red take on Liverpool in their first game of the pre-season in Bangkok on 12th July. With Ronaldo missing team practice, a few Manchester United fans were left unhappy and voiced their opinion of Ronaldo seeking a transfer away. Rio Ferdinand disclaimed those accusations and claimed that Ronaldo is an exceptional professional athlete.
“I’ve been seeing people being a touch disrespectful,’ he said. ‘The way that people are questioning ‘he’s not here’ and the hysteria surrounding it. A member of his family is not well, so he’s not at training,” added Ferdinand.

‘This is the most consummate, most professional athlete that we’ve seen on these shores. The most professional athlete we’ve seen for over 15 years and people are questioning this guy’s professionalism and why he’s not at the training ground,” he concluded.
Manchester United has been relatively slow on the summer transfer market. They have just bought in Dutch left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord. Other important transfers like that of Frenkie De Jong, Lisandro Martinez, Anthony, and others are currently being negotiated by the Red Devils. Reports have also suggested that Ronaldo has been disappointed with the club not making fast signings.
