And that need could yet grow with Cristiano Ronaldo’s future still uncertain amid his desire to leave the club. Nobody wants him and he’s stuck in limbo.

Another reported suitor, Chelsea, have also ruled out a deal, sources told ESPN. United, however, finished sixth in the league to miss out on Champions League qualification and will play in the second-tier Europa League this season. During his absence, speculation about the Portugal international's future at United was rife and ESPN reported that he wanted to leave in order to play Champions League football.

“He must be that leader on the football pitch, for them as a team to try and galvanise something. “So your whole goal in your life is to break records? Now he’s at the stage of his career now where the club he’s at is trying to reignite itself and it needs a leader.

It was there where he held crunch talks with Ten Hag alongside agent Jorge Mendes.

Man United take on Rayo Vallecano in their final friendly of pre-season at Old Trafford on Sunday.

It means Ronaldo will play for United for the first time since the 4-0 away defeat to Brighton on May 7. He deserves to start today after having the misfortune of an injury on United’s tour of Thailand and Australia, which limited him to just over 20 minutes. But there’s a feeling that Garner might have missed his chance to impress Ten Hag and it seems likely that he’ll go on loan again. There is talk of a protest before the opening day of the season next week, but that might just be social media chat. Sancho has looked confident in pre-season and he needs to deliver in the new campaign. When Nixon appears in front of him, he freezes, mumbles “Mr President” and clasps his hand. United, as bad as they have been in the last four years, have immense pull with their followers. Ten Hag wants to see ‘proactive’ and ‘attacking’ football from his players today. Elanga has declared he prefers to play on the left and Sancho would be doing every a favour if he could find form down the right. It will be interesting to see how Varane and Martinez play together, albeit Rayo Vallecano are hardly known for their attacking quality. Eriksen and Martinez are starting, as is Garner, who needs a big performance after his tour was all but wiped out. The game is United's final friendly ahead of the start of their Premier League campaign against Brighton next weekend.

Manchester United drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford today in the final pre-season friendly. Here are our player ratings for the game:.

James Garner 7.5 – A good audition from Garner. He protected his defence very well and distributed the ball efficiently. Tom Heaton 7.5 – Brilliant save in the opening seconds, great concentration from the off. Shot from free kick was, well, not good. Still not setting the world on fire. Made good save but couldn’t prevent the goal in the second. Arguably an upgrade on McTominay on this form.

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted by Erik ten Hag against Rayo Vallecano at half-time on Sunday afternoon.

"He must be that leader on the football pitch, for them as a team to try and galvanise something. However, he was hooked in the interval - having struggled to make his mark during the game. "So your whole goal in your life is to break records? Now he’s at the stage of his career now where the club he’s at is trying to reignite itself and it needs a leader. The Portugal international was making his first appearance under his new boss. And Ten Hag decided to start the game with a front three consisting of Ronaldo, Tahith Chong and Alejandro Garnacho. But Ronaldo was taken off at the break after struggling to make his mark during the fixture.

The player ratings in Manchester United's final pre-season fixture under Erik ten Hag this summer. It was a 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

Surprisingly it was a shot from the left side of the box early in the game which you would've expected too see better. Unfortunate to not score after his strike from the edge of the box hit the post. However, afterwards he gave his man tons of space in the build-up for the equaliser from the visitors and was caught out of position too often. He didn't quite get his free-kick technique right in the second half. A solid first outing in front of the Old Trafford crowd. Despite being caught out in the opening minute, Laird has some real positive moments going forward on the right flank.

Eriksen was again the next player to be involved in a fruitful looking attack, as half-time loomed. Lisandro Martinez showed astute defending to prevent any further danger, as he looked strong on his maiden United showing. Goal: A.Garcia (57). Booked: U.Lopez (17), Valentin (77). Some superb work from Alejandro Garnacho down the left provided an opening for Tahith Chong, after Christian Eriksen had beautifully found the young forward moments prior. Goal: Amad (48).

The 37-year-old, who missed the club's pre-season tour to Thailand and Australia for personal reasons, wants to leave the club he rejoined last year.

But the campaign as a whole was a huge disappointment for the club, with a sixth-place finish in the Premier League meaning they missed out on qualification for the Champions League. Ronaldo applauded fans on both sides of the ground as he led the team out for their pre-match warm-up on Sunday. CRISTIANO RONALDO PLAYED the first 45 minutes as he made his first Manchester United appearance in 12 weeks during a 1-1 pre-season draw with Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford.

He played the first 45 minutes of Sunday's friendly against Rayo Vallecano and received a rapturous reception from United fans in attendance.

And after his uneventful return to the fold, he was replaced by Amad Diallo at half-time at Old Trafford. He was then named in the starting XI to face the Spanish side, but showed his rustiness by blazing a shot into the stands after trying to find the top corner with a close-range strike.

Cristiano Ronaldo left the ground before full-time after featuring in Manchester United's 1-1 friendly draw at home against Rayo Vallecano.

In a period that petered out this was the last noteworthy sighting of Ronaldo as Ten Hag swapped him for Diallo for the second half. As half-time neared there appeared a mild contretemps between Ten Hag and Ronaldo during a break in play: the manager seemed to be addressing some positional deficiency which the player shrugged. At the break Ten Hag replaced the striker with Amad Diallo and he was later photographed outside the stadium before the close of the match. Ten Hag had earlier asked all of the squad, whether involved or not, to have lunch together and then attend the warm-up game. Of his first game in charge at Old Trafford, Ten Hag said: “The reception was fantastic. While Dalot was also in a photograph of Ronaldo leaving early, it was unclear whether the latter will face disciplinary action from Ten Hag. As the manager had not scheduled a post-game conference afterwards the media were unable to ask.

Manchester United drew 1-1 against Rayo Vallecano in our last pre-season friendly which was Erik ten Hag's first game in charge at Old Trafford.

United’s number seven made his first appearance under Ten Hag against the Spanish side and he had a glorious chance to open the scoring. With Bebe not part of the Vallecano travelling party, the 36-year-old Colombian was the sole former Red Devil to feature against his former club. The 18-year-old was unleashed against Vallecano and he tore the Spanish side’s right-back apart with his blistering pace and mazy dribbling skills.

Photos have been shared on social media of Ronaldo and Diogo Dalot, who was not involved in the match, making their way towards the Old Trafford car park. Ronaldo was pictured returning to training on Friday after missing the pre-season tour of Asia and Australia, with speculation mounting over his future at Old Trafford. He missed the club's pre-season tour of Asia and Australia due to "family reasons", returning to training last week and playing in his first game under the new United boss on Sunday.

He has been linked with moves to Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, although sources have told ESPN that United are yet to receive a serious offer for the Portugal forward.

Man United drew 1-1 with Rayo Vallecano on Sunday and here are the talking points from the Reds' final pre-season clash.

Ten Hag is the authoritarian figure that the dressing room required and his press-up punishments have been a light-hearted training addition. There were glimpses of quality from Garnacho and now the challenge for the player is sustaining those moments. Ronaldo began training on grass later in the week, but he was not included in United's squad for their trip to Oslo, Norway. Manchester United's friendly against Rayo Vallecano was intended to be an opportunity for youngsters and fringe players to play. Varane started with Martinez and looked slightly off the pace, which was understandable considering his lack of minutes this summer, but it was hardly the type of performance that would make a statement to Ten Hag ahead of the new season. Maguire has played on the right side of the centre of the defence during pre-season and that has suggested Ten Hag was preparing him to play alongside the left-footed Lisandro Martinez. Maguire and Martinez could be Ten Hag’s first choice centre-backs, but Varane is world-class when fit and he started against Vallecano, while he was also selected to wear the captain's armband.
