The Portuguese forward is not included in the squad that will play friendlies in Thailand and Australia

Cristiano Ronaldo won't join the Manchester United around-the-world tour scheduled to depart for the pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.

The 37-year-old star is given additional time off to deal with "a family issue" and will not join Erik ten Hag and his squad on their tour of Thailand and Australia.

The Red Devils' tour kicks off against Liverpool in Bangkok on July 12, before facing Melbourne Victory in Australia three days later and Crystal Palace in Melbourne on July 19.

They will then face Aston Villa in Perth on July 23 before returning home via Oslo, where they will face Atletico Madrid on July 30.

CR7's absence comes amid informing the United board he wants to leave Old Trafford this summer if a suitable offer arrives.

Ronaldo was due to re-join his teammates on Monday but has instead been keeping fit at Portugal's training base - Cidade do Futebol - for the past few days.

Former United defender Gary Neville believes Ronaldo's United future cannot become a "saga" this summer.
