Cristiano Ronaldo pre-season: After playing first pre-season game against Rayo Vallecano, Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo says ‘happy to be back’
Ronaldo missed United’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons amid reports he wants to quit the club, but he reported to the training ground earlier this week to discuss his future with new boss Erik ten Hag.
The 37-year-old Portuguese played 45 minutes against the La Liga side — his first United appearance since their 4-0 defeat at Brighton last season — before being withdrawn at halftime in a pre-planned move.
He later posted on social media a picture of him playing in the game with the caption: “Happy to be back.”

United completed its preseason preparations with a draw as Ronaldo’s replacement Amad Diallo’s 48th-minute strike was cancelled out by Alvaro Garcia Rivera.
It remains to be seen whether the Portugal international will be involved in United’s Premier League curtain-raiser with Brighton next Sunday.
