Cristiano Ronaldo updates LIVE: Ronaldo to join United’s Pre-Season squad in Norway?
Cristiano Ronaldo posed with the team’s new away kit, shutting exit rumors. But it is still unclear whether he will join his teammates in Oslo as there no update from the player side nor Manchester United. Since the team began the pre-season trip to Australia, the Manchester United marketing team unveiled its second kit.
The jersey is a white vintage shirt with some black details. Players such as Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, and Scott McTominay led this presentation from Melbourne.
The 2022-2023 away jersey has a similarity with previous editions. Manchester United had similar jerseys during the 1986/88 campaign, 1991 tournament, and 1996 season.
Manchester United will wear the new kit for the first time this Wednesday, July 19, 2022, when the Red Devils take on Crystal Palace in Australia in a friendly match.
Is Ronaldo leaving Manchester United?
Cristiano Ronaldo was not present during the unveiling ceremony. Manchester United officially presented their jersey, and the Portuguese player didn’t attend the event.
However, the team’s website illustrates CR7 posing with the away kit. Recently, Ronaldo rejected a juicy offer from the Middle East.
According to reports, CR7 might accept an exit offer. Other possible destinations such as Bayern Munich or Chelsea have discarded the Portuguese.
The lack of offers places Ronaldo with the Red Devils for another year. Nevertheless, Manchester United is out of the Champions League.
The same Ronaldo is not entirely interested in playing for a team that didn’t qualify for the Champions League. Reports assure that the Portuguese star is still looking for an exit door.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not play in Erik ten Hag’s first game in charge of the Old Trafford club. The Portuguese has been given additional time off to deal with an unspecified family issue and is currently training in Portugal in order to keep his fitness intact.
Clubs such as Chelsea, Napoli and Roma are keeping tabs on the forward but with United standing firm the saga could be dragged on to the last day of the Summer Transfer deadline.
Ronaldo, who has been linked with a summer exit from United, is one of four players who won’t be involved against Liverpool. Phil Jones and Brandon Williams are remaining in England, while Andreas Pereira has joined Fulham on a permanent deal.
Who has been included in Manchester United’s OFFICIAL Pre-Season Tour squad?
Goalkeepers: David De Gea, Tom Heaton, Nathan Bishop, Matej Kovar, Defenders: Eric Bailly, Diogo Dalot, Ethan Laird, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Alex Telles, Axel Tuanzebe (replaced by Will FIsh), Raphael Varane, Aaron Wan-Bissaka

What has been said about Ronaldo’s absence?
A United statement said: “Cristiano Ronaldo will not be in the party departing for Thailand as he has been granted additional time off to deal with a family issue.
“Defender Phil Jones is following a specialist pre-season programme, as was the case last summer, to ensure he is best prepared for the campaign ahead. Brandon Williams, back from a loan spell at Norwich City, has a small issue and so is continuing to work at Carrington.
