The summer novel Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United today had an important chapter that can lead to a peaceful outcome for both parties. The striker, who has been eyeing a move away from the club for the past few weeks, finally got a kit this Sunday and played his first minutes of pre-season.
The Portuguese played the first 45 minutes in a 1-1 draw red devils in front of Rayo Vallecano of the Spanish league. Cristiano started in the starting line-up of coach Erik Ten Haag. On the pitch, he started as a centre-forward in the Dutchman’s 4-2-3-1 formation and had a left-footed shot at goal that went close to the right upright of Macedonian goalkeeper Stoll Dimitrijevski.
