Cristiano Ronaldo was 'happy to be back' playing for Manchester United after he appeared for 45 minutes in the 1-1 draw against Spanish team Rayo Vallecano in a friendly match at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo missed United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons amid reports he wants to quit the club, but he reported to the training ground earlier this week to discuss his future with new boss Erik ten Hag. The 37-year-old Portuguese played 45 minutes against the La Liga side, his first United appearance since its 4-0 defeat at Brighton last season, before being withdrawn at halftime in a pre-planned move.
