Manchester United will reportedly play “hardball” in face-to-face discussions with Cristiano Ronaldo on Tuesday.
The Red Devils have maintained that the forward is not for sale and will see out the remaining year of his contract.
The veteran striker has yet to train with United in pre-season, missing all of the opening weeks under Erik ten Hag. Instead, Ronaldo has been in Portugal and has cited personal issues as the reason for his absence.
However, several reports suggest that the former Real Madrid ace will return to Manchester this week to hold talks with Ten Hag and the Old Trafford hierarchy.
United are expected to stand firm in their stance that Ronaldo will not be sold, however, according to the Daily Telegraph.
