Why Ronaldo is yet to resume at Old Trafford

Man Utd star Rio Ferdinand has shared an update as to why Cristiano Ronaldo is yet to resume at Old Trafford.

According to Ferdinard, it has nothing to do with Ronaldo wanting to leave Man Utd as he said it has to do with the Portugal star being there for his family.

Speaking on his FIVE YouTube Channel, Ferdinand revealed that a family member of the striker is having health issues.

Ronaldo has not shown up at Carrington ahead of the new season.

Ferdinand said: “I’ve been seeing people being a touch disrespectful. The way that people are questioning ‘he’s not here’ and the hysteria surrounding it. A member of his family is not well, so he’s not at training.

“This is the most consummate, most professional athlete that we’ve seen on these shores. The most professional athlete we’ve seen for over 15 years and people are questioning this guy’s professionalism and why he’s not at the training ground.

“Yeah he might want to leave, he might not be happy with certain things at the football club, but in terms of professionalism, this guy is training where he is – we’ve seen the pictures.

“His family are there, he needs to be where they are and you have to respect that. Simple as. Could it have been communicated better by the club? Probably.”
