Cristiano Ronaldo was again missing from Manchester United training today.

Ronaldo cited family reasons for his absence on Monday and Tuesday. But he was again absent from training at Carrington today.

Ronaldo has told United management that he wishes to leave this summer should they receive a suitable offer.

The 37-year-old still has an affinity for the club but at this stage of his career, he wants to be playing in the Champions League and does not see that happening at Old Trafford.

His agent Jorge Mendes is actively drumming up interest from across Europe.

United leave for their pre-season tour on Friday, with the first game set to take place in Bangkok against Liverpool on July 12.
