Cristiano Ronaldo Spotted 'Leaving Old Trafford Before Full-Time Whistle Of Rayo Vallecano Friendly'

In fact, the 37-year-old forward, who has been heavily linked with a move this summer, was spotted leaving Old Trafford before the full-time whistle, according to a fan.

He also replied to his own post with the caption: "The king is gone."

The United fan also responded to another supporter, saying: "Honest haha everyone was like wtf."

Ahead of kick-off, new United boss Ten Hag said the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was "not on the level" of his Manchester United teammates when it comes to being match fit.

"I cannot tell in this moment," the Dutchman told Sky Sports. "He is definitely not on the level of our current squad, because he missed a lot of weeks. So he needs games and he needs a lot of training."

Ronaldo's agent, Jorge Mendes, has certainly been busy in recent weeks.

A statement by fan group Union Internacional de Penas del Atletico Madrid was released before their pre season game against Numancia this week.

It said: “Given the possibility that the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo is more than just a rumour we express our absolute rejection of any hypothetical incorporation into our club.

“The aforementioned player represents the antithesis of the values that are the hallmarks of our Atleti, such as effort, generosity, simplicity and humility.

“Even in the unlikely event that a player in decline such as Cristiano Ronaldo could secure a title; we would not accept his signing.

“The sense of belonging to our Atletico is not something that is within his reach, to his misfortune, so he could never achieve our affection or recognition.

“Therefore, we ask the club to reject his possible signing, if he has ever been considered.”
