The British newspaper "Daily Star" reported that Manchester United Football Club does not intend to punish its star, Cristiano Ronaldo, for his absence from the team's preseason tour for the new season. The Manchester United team, led by its new Dutch coach Erik ten Hag, traveled to Thailand yesterday without Ronaldo, and the "Red Devils" are expected to move on to Australia afterward.
Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester due to the team's failure to qualify for the Champions League next season, prompting Chelsea to consider signing him for £14 million. The "Daily Star" explained that Manchester United has the right to fine Ronaldo for not fulfilling his contractual obligations, along with the impact of his absence on merchandise sales, particularly since the team's trip was promoted using posters featuring him.
Additionally, it was reported that the club's CEO, Richard Arnold, chose not to punish the Portuguese star due to the sensitive reasons that led Ronaldo to stay in Lisbon.
