Cristiano Ronaldo has suggested he is set to make a first Manchester United appearance under Erik ten Hag in Sunday’s friendly against Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford via a comment on social media.

The striker, who wants to leave the club this summer, was absent from United’s close season tour of Thailand and Australia due to a family issue so did not feature in any of the three wins and a draw during the fortnight trip.
