Cristiano Ronaldo back training with Manchester United first team after exile

Forward in contention to face Sheriff on Thursday

BACK IN: Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo returned to training with Manchester United’s first team on Tuesday and is in contention to feature in Thursday’s Europa League match at home to Sheriff Tiraspol.

The forward had been banished from first-team training by Erik ten Hag and excluded from Saturday’s draw at Chelsea as punishment for refusing to come on against Tottenham and walking down the tunnel before the end of the match.
