Manchester United quickly responded to recent news regarding the departure of the team's star, Portuguese player Cristiano Ronaldo, before the closing of the current summer transfer window. Ronaldo has created much uncertainty about his future with the Red Devils due to his absence during the preseason and his less-than-expected performance in the early rounds of the Premier League. His last appearance was as a substitute for a few minutes in United's recent match against Liverpool in the third round of the Premier League.
Reports in the last few hours claimed that Ronaldo had finalized his return to his former club Sporting Lisbon, indicating that the deal was 99% sealed. The same reports confirmed that the Portuguese club is currently preparing to make a formal announcement regarding the transfer of the Madeira rocket.
In response, a source close to Manchester United told the British newspaper "Daily Mail" that the news of Ronaldo's return to Lisbon is incorrect. Various reports have circulated since the beginning of the transfer window that Cristiano Ronaldo is seeking to move to another club participating in the UEFA Champions League this season. The player has also expressed his dissatisfaction with the club's management for their delay in supporting the Red team with strong signings this summer.
