JAKARTA - Cristiano Ronaldo was only a spectator from the sidelines when Manchester United underwent a closed friendly match against Wrexham, Wednesday, 27 July. He acts as a cheerleader to provide support to his comrades.

Cristiano Ronaldo has finally returned to Carrington after previously missing training and pre-season tours due to family reasons. He still gets a warm welcome from the MU players despite his long absence.

The player, nicknamed CR7, was not played in a friendly match because he had just arrived at the club headquarters. He also recently underwent medical tests after a long absence.

As reported by the Daily Mail via The Sun, Ronaldo's failure to return to the team on schedule means he will be included in an individual training program. That is if he is still at the Red Devils.

Before watching Manchester United's match against Wrexham, the former Real Madrid and Juventus man held important talks with the club about his future. The 37-year-old arrived with his agent, Jorge Mendes.

The two met with manager Erik ten Hag, CEO Richard Arnold and Sir Alex Ferguson, the former manager of Manchester United. The Red Devils remain steadfast in their stance that Ronaldo is not for sale. Meanwhile, the player also firmly wants to leave.

Meanwhile, in the MU match against Wrexham, Christian Eriksen made his debut. He also marked the beginning of his journey with the Red Devils with a goal.

Meanwhile, Lisandro Martinez, who was brought in from Ajax Amsterdam, also played in the match. The Red Devils finally won 4-1 over the club owned by the Hollywood actor.
