SKOPJE. — Cristiano Ronaldo has finally returned to training with Real Madrid but the defending European soccer champions are set to be without the Portuguese superstar in tonight’s UEFA Super Cup clash with Manchester United in Skopje.
Ronaldo is in Real Madrid’s squad to face Manchester United tonight, days after admitting he wants to return to England.
The 32-year-old had been expected to miss the Super Cup clash in Skopje having missed first-team training following an extended leave due to Portugal’s run in the Confederations Cup in Russia this summer.
Ronaldo, who is facing charges of evading £13m tax, told a Madrid court last week that he wants to return to England, according to Sky sources.
Manchester United sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £80m in 2009 and Jose Mourinho said last month re-signing the player was “mission impossible”.
Ronaldo signed a new-five year Real Madrid contract last November.
