Manchester United will return to Australia this month as part of their 2022 pre-season tour.

It was been a strong start for the Red Devils this pre-season, defeating Liverpool 4-0 in Thailand, prior to their 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory.

He has been granted personal leave by the club as he continues to deal with a 'family issue'.
"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," a United statement read.
A specific timeline for his return has not been set.
