The match had from the beginning the prominent role of Cristiano, who after being absent from the tours of Thailand and Australia for "family reasons" returned to wear the shirt of the 'Red Devils' for the first time this preseason.

A large part of the Manchester fans, who continue to see Cristiano as an idol, chanted every action in which the Portuguese, who started at the front of the attack but, too unassisted to receive the last pass, was delaying his position until he ended up going down to receive balls in the center of the field. Cristiano's best chance came after eleven minutes, when he received a ball from the left by Dutchman Donny van de Beek, started his run and fired a cross-shot that went wide of Stole Dimitrievski's goal.

Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo once again started against Rayo Vallecano with his future still up in the air. After returning to training under Ten Hag, the striker shared the front line with Garnacho and Chong.

The Portuguese, who has been one of the big names in this summer market, has received a direct message from his coach: he counts on him and is destined to be an important player in his slate this first season in charge of the Old Trafford project.

The former Real Madrid man did not travel with the rest of the squad on the pre-season tour and fueled rumors of a possible exit. Rumors of a possible move to Atletico Madrid have been swirling in recent weeks, something that seems unlikely given his past as a player and legend.
