Cristiano Ronaldo returns to Manchester United training early

Cristiano Ronaldo has returned to training with Manchester United early after his winter break.

Following the 1-0 victory over West Ham United, the Portugal international travelled to Dubai for a training camp with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba and compatriot Diogo Dalot, in the absence of European fixtures in the international break.

According to Manchester Evening News, the 37-year-old has now returned to Carrington after flying back to Manchester on Saturday.

Amid several players being linked away from the Red Devils on transfer Deadline Day, Ralf Rangnick's men resumed training on Monday ahead of their return to action this week.

They will welcome Middlesbrough to Old Trafford in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Friday, with Alex Telles, Fred and Edinson Cavani still on international duty in South America.

Since his return to the Red Devils over the summer, Ronaldo has made 24 appearances, netting 14 goals including six in five Champions League games.
