Cristiano Ronaldo has again missed Manchester United training.

The Portuguese star spent the second day without training with the “Red Devils”, who yesterday started the preparatory phase for the next season.

The English media wrote yesterday that the 37-year-old was absent for “family reasons”, but speculations immediately arose that behind this absence lies the desire of the Portuguese to leave “Old Trafford”.

The medium “The Athletic” reports today that the former footballer of Sporting Lisbon, Real Madrid and Juventus is staying in Lisbon, where he is exercising individually at the sports center of the Portuguese National Team.

In recent days there has been talk of an eventual request by the player to leave United as he wants to play in the Champions League, which the English giant cannot do.

Chelsea has entered the race for the five-time winner of the Golden Ball, while Bayern Munich also likes him, and in the last hours the name of Barcelona was also mentioned.

Manchester United are determined to keep the player for another year as he is under contract.

In the coming days, more will be known about the future of Ronaldo, who returned last year to the “Theater of Dreams”.
