Manchester United 2022/23 Pre-Season Squad Confirmed: No Place For Wantaway Cristiano Ronaldo

Manchester United have announced their confirmed pre-season squad for the upcoming fixtures, and Cristiano Ronaldo is not named on the list.

Erik ten Hag's men finished their second week of training and are now set to jet off to Thailand for their opening game of pre-season.

Liverpool are the opponents on 12 July, before United face five other teams before their Premier League campaign commences.

With the squad list confirmed, the most notable omission is Cristiano Ronaldo.

The striker wants a move away from Old Trafford, but does have a genuine family issue keeping him from returning to the squad.

Brandon Williams is another missing out, he is still returning to full fitness after a minor issue.

Meanwhile, Phil Jones is following a specialist pre-season programme to ensure he is best prepared for the campaign ahead, whether that be at Old Trafford or elsewhere.

Christian Eriksen is expected to join the squad at a later date following his medical with the club. Whether potential signings of Lisandro Martinez and Frenkie de Jong will join up will depend on how quickly United can complete their business.
