Cristiano Ronaldo poised to miss first day of Manchester United training
Cristiano Ronaldo is not expected to return to Manchester United training on Monday after the club accepted his explanation that family reasons would prevent him for coming back as scheduled.
Ronaldo wants to leave United after growing frustrated at what he sees as a lack of ambition in their summer transfer dealings and concluding they cannot win the Premier League. The 37-year-old also wants to play in the Champions League.
