Ronaldo ‘missing’ but also ‘models the long-sleeve jersey’ as Manchester United launch kit

Ronaldo has permission not to train but is ‘missing’, while the Manchester United kit launch offers some clues.

 

Miss or misses?
The back page of The Sun tells us – alongside talk of something called ‘tennis’ – that Ronaldo is not going on tour with Manchester United on Friday, saying the ‘wantaway Portuguese superstar has been given additional time off to deal with a “family issue” back in his homeland’. Seems quite straightforward and at least he has permission.

Which definitely equates to the headline that screams from the Sun website‘s football homepage:

‘RON GONE MISSING’

Has he ‘gone missing’ or has he been given permission not to return to work? It feels like it might be the latter. Can you ‘go missing’ if everybody knows where you are? Is Mediawatch ‘missing’ now?

Over at the Daily Mirror, Jeremy Cross is somehow claiming an ‘exclusive’ that ‘Manchester United will not punish Cristiano Ronaldo for missing their summer tour of the Far East and Australia’.

Because of course the rest of us thought that United would give Ronaldo permission to miss the tour and then fine him anyway in some kind of elaborate and entirely illegal ‘gotcha’ moment. FFS.
