Cristiano Ronaldo arrives for Man Utd training amid transfer exit talks – and could be in for Brighton recall

CRISTIANO RONALDO arrived at training this morning in line for a possible start on Sunday.
The Manchester United star's future has dominated headlines this summer, as he desperately seeks an Old Trafford exit.
But with no transfer having yet materialised, he could find himself in the team on Sunday against Brighton.
Ronaldo, 37, finally returned for pre-season training last week and was selected for United's 1-1 draw with Rayo Vallecano.
Having been substituted at half time following an under-par display, CR7 risked the wrath of Erik ten Hag by leaving the match ten minutes before it finished.
Ten Hag, 52, was left fuming by the incident... but may have to start Ronaldo for his Prem opener regardless.
