Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed that he is planning to make his Manchester United return on Sunday against Rayo Vallecano.

The forward has missed all of the Red Devils' pre-season so far after being granted time off for personal reasons, though he is also attempting to engineer a move away from Old Trafford in search of Champions League football.

Man Utd confirmed on Friday that Ronaldo will not be travelling with the squad to face Atletico Madrid in Norway on Saturday.
