CRISTIANO RONALDO flew to Portugal once he heard that he had been axed from the starting line-up against Manchester City.
Ralf Rangnick initially based his decision to leave the Portugal star on the bench due to the 37-year-old suffering a hip flexor injury.
However, a fuming Ronaldo decided to fly back to his homeland where he believes that warm weather training will aid his hip issues.
Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford is reported to be considering his options after starting from the bench at the Etihad.
The Red Devils forward has struggled to break into the starting XI under Rangnick and made minimal impact from during Sundthe weekend’s 4-1 defeat.
