Cristiano Ronaldo: Man Utd forward says he will play in friendly against Rayo Vallecano

Online Desk

Cristiano Ronaldo has indicated he will be involved in Manchester United's friendly with Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford on Sunday.

The Portugal forward wants United to let him leave this summer and missed the club's pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia due to personal reasons.

Ronaldo, 37, was also left out of United's squad for Saturday's friendly with Atletico Madrid in Oslo.

But he suggested on Instagram he will face La Liga side Rayo Vallecano.

Commenting on a post by a Ronaldo fan page about him missing the game in Norway, he wrote: "Domingo o rei joga" which translates as "Sunday the king plays".

United said players not in the 21-man travelling squad for the Atletico game - which includes new signings Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen - "will take part in Sunday's game against Rayo Vallecano, while others are ill or injured."
