Cristiano Ronaldo returns to training ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Tottenham this weekend.
The Portuguese was expected to lead the Red Devils line against Man City last weekend but missed the 4-1 loss entirely due to injury.
Ronaldo returns to Manchester United training after injury
Caretaker coach Ralf Rangnick explained that a hip flexor injury kept him out of the side, in what was a big blow before kick-off.
But Roy Keane claimed the injury was not legitimate and reports soon emerged that Ronaldo had traveled to Portugal during the game.
The 37-year-old has since been confirmed by the club to be back with the team this week, but how is his fitness for Spurs on Saturday night?
Well, that’s good news for United fans, as Rangnick has confirmed that Ronaldo will return to face the North Londoners on Saturday.
He said: “He resumed training yesterday. [Thursday].

– Ronaldo hit a sumptuous volley shortly before half-time against Spurs
“He trained all the training and I hope he trains today. He would have thought that he would be available tomorrow.
“I have not asked him if he is happy in Manchester at this club.
“He’s back in shape, he resumed training yesterday and we’ll see what formation we line up with tomorrow.
Ronaldo had one of his best games for United since returning to the club in the reverse match at Tottenham in October.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored a surprising first goal before giving another to Edinson Cavani in a 3-0 victory in north London.

– Ronaldo has been in bad shape lately
And in a further boost for United, Cavani will also return after missing the last six games with a groin problem.
But both Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay will miss out.
Rangnick added: “Luke Shaw will miss it.
“Until yesterday, I was still testing positive for Covid. Scotty is a question mark, calf problems for him.
“Right now it is most likely that he will not be available because if we risk him tomorrow he could be out for Tuesday’s game (against Atlético de Madrid). I tend to be careful if it’s a muscle injury.”
