Cristiano Ronaldo shared a glimpse of the training session on Twitter, with the caption reading:
"Hard work always pays off."
Ronaldo was United's top goalscorer across all competitions, scoring 24 goals in 38 games.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner started from the bench in Manchester United's Premier League opener last Sunday, August 7 and will be hoping to make it to the starting lineup against Brentford.
The Red Devils fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to Brighton & Hove Albion. Their only goal was also an own goal scored by Alexis Mac Allister.
Cristiano Ronaldo unable to find a way out of Manchester United
For the first time in two decades, Ronaldo is at risk of missing the UEFA Champions League unless he leaves Manchester United.
There has been a lot of speculation regarding the future of the player with Manchester United but the transfer saga continues to spiral. There have been no concrete talks with any interested clubs yet and as things stand, he remains the proud owner of the No.7 jersey at Old Trafford.
🗣 Gary Neville on Cristiano Ronaldo: “I’m a little bit disappointed in him. Would it be too much to ask him to come out to do an interview to clear things up and tell us what he’s thinking and what’s actually happening.” [Sky Sports]
Erik ten Hag's Premier League debut ended in a defeat in which he opted to start Ronaldo off the bench. If the manager wishes for an improved performance in the next game, starting Ronaldo might be smart idea.
Regardless of the current situation between the club and the player, Ronaldo is a proven goalscorer. He scored a goal the last time United faced Brentford at Old Trafford.
The game against Brentford will take place at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, August 13.
It will be the first away game of the 2022-23 campaign for United.
