Read our privacy policy Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to Manchester United with his agent Jorge Mendes ahead of talks over his future. Ronaldo is understood to want to join a club with a realistic chance to win the Champions League and compete for major honours but arrived at United’s Carrington training base with agent Mendes. “I have a strategy, it’s a process, it takes time but in the end, we have to make sure from the outset there is a winning team.” Ten Hag has also suggested that Ronaldo may not be considered for selection for United’s opening Premier League fixture against Brighton and Hove Albion on 7 August, having not trained with the rest of the squad. Ronaldo scored 24 goals in all competitions last season following his return to Old Trafford but was part of a side responsible for United’s lowest points tally of the Premier League era.
