The Portuguese captain’s conduct called it “unacceptable” after he left Old Trafford before the end of Sunday against Rayo Vallecano.
However, an injury to Anthony Martial has given the five-time Ballon d’Or winner hope of picking up exactly where he left off last season and the opening game.
It is also claimed that a move to Napoli may be imaginable for Cristiano Ronaldo if he makes the decision to sign up for the Serie A team.
That would be the trick in terms of the Champions League football offering the Portuguese captain craves.
Jamie Vardy, who still has one year left on his contract at Leicester, is a guy they need to upgrade ronaldo to.
And reports in Portugal suggest that Man Utd is in a position to return for Ruben Neves.

United and Chelsea in search of Vardy

The Foxes insist they need to keep the 35-year-old striker, but are wary of the fact he has 11 months left on his current contract.
Vardy may be the last star to leave Leicester after Kasper Schmeichel’s move to Nice, and any and all possibilities of Wesley Fofana, Youri Tielemans and James Maddison will remain before the move window closes.

Captains are the key to the initial clash

Portuguese journalist Pedro Sepulveda told Sky Sports News: “Ruben Neves is a wish for Manchester United, right at the moment, but it has been of interest to them for a few months.
“The challenge is that Wolves will possibly not sell him profitably and negotiations will be complicated because they don’t need to lose him.
