Raphaël Varane, Aaron Wan Bisaka and Luke Shaw have also missed a trip to Norway and are expected to be active in Manchester, so he is not the only one in the Spanish outfit.

Ronaldo still wants to leave Manchester United and his agent, Jorge Mendes, is working to find him a new club, which is much more difficult than expected.
