Sir Alex Ferguson arrives at Manchester United training ground as Cristiano Ronaldo holds talks over future

Sir Alex Ferguson arrived at Manchester United’s training ground on Tuesday as Cristiano Ronaldo held talks with the club’s hierarchy over his future.

Ronaldo has been pushing to leave United this summer but so far there have been no takers for the 37-year-old.

Bayern Munich and Chelsea have been offered the chance to sign Ronaldo but both clubs have ruled out a move.

Ronaldo did not join up with United’s squad for their pre-season tour of the Far East and Australia and has been training alone in Portugal due to family reasons.

Ronaldo returned to Manchester on Monday evening ahead of fresh talks with new manager Erik ten Hag and United’s CEO Richard Arnold.

On Tuesday, Ronaldo returned to Carrington for the first time this summer and was joined by his agent Jorge Mendes, who has been negotiating the forward’s departure for several weeks.

Ferguson, who has a close relationship with Ronaldo following their six years together at Old Trafford, also made a rare appearance at Carrington.

The 80-year-old played a key role in convincing Ronaldo to return to United last year and will be pushing for his former player to remain part of Ten Hag’s squad.

When asked for an update on Ronaldo’s situation last week, Ten Hag said: ‘No. It’s the same as last week.

‘Of course, concerning is maybe not the right word [over his absence].
