On Sunday, Manchester United will play a game against Rayo Vallecano at Old Manchester.

He was left out of United's squad for Saturday's game.

He said on social media that he would face Rayo Vallecano.

Commenting on a post by a Ronaldo fan page about him missing the game in Norway, he wrote: "Domingo o rei joga" which translates as "Sunday the king plays".

The players not in the 21-man travelling squad for the game will play in Sunday's game against Rayo Vallecano, while others are sick or injured.

It is believed that the United player reiterated his desire to leave the club after meeting with the manager. He wasn't able to attend the match that was held behind closed doors.

"Ronaldo is in our plans" was Ten Hag's previous statement.

After a spell with Real Madrid, he returned to United.

While he was the club's top scorer, United missed out on a place in the playoffs after finishing sixth in the premier league.

That means that for the first time in his career, the Portuguese will play in the European competition.

He feels there could be more attractive options available to him at this point in his career, and he is not viewing it with relish.

The player has been linked with a number of European clubs, but he was no longer a priority for the Blues.

The fans of Atleti urged their club not to be involved in the talks about signingRonaldo.

On Sunday, August 7th, United will play their first game of the 2022-23 premier league season.
