It should only lead to Manchester United gossip. On Sunday, August 31, the Red Devils welcomed Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford in a friendly match, the last of the preparatory season before the start of the 2022-2023 Premier League on Friday, August 5. Missed for several weeks, Cristiano Ronaldo played the first half, before being replaced by Ahmed Diallo in the first half.
Since the start of the summer transfer window, rumors about CR7’s departure have continued to breed. The Portuguese would like to join a club eligible for the Champions League, while Manchester United will play the Europa League this season. While the match against Rayo Vallecano is far from over, the shot has caused quite a stir on social networks. We could see Cristiano Ronaldo leave Old Trafford, although his teammates were still on the field. Other players (not selected for this meeting having played the day before) such as Bruno Fernandez, Anthony Martial, Diogo Dalot, David de Gea also left the Red Devils fold prematurely. When asked about this topic during an interview with Dutch channel Viaplay Sport, Eric Ten Hag did not hesitate to smash CR7 and his buddies because of their stance. “I definitely can’t stand it. this is unacceptable. For everyone. We are a team and you should stay until the endAn attack that would certainly fuel rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo again…
