Cristiano Ronaldo Spotted ‘Leaving Old Trafford Before Full-Time Whistle Of Rayo Vallecano Friendly.
After being replaced in Sunday’s exhibition match between Manchester United and Rayo Vallecano, Cristiano Ronaldo left quickly.
A supporter claims that the forward, 37, who has been extensively linked with a move this summer, was seen departing Old Trafford before the end of regulation.
Ronaldo was photographed leaving the Theatre of Dreams by Twitter user @CantonaManc, who wrote: “Not even waited for the last whistle.”
Additionally, he commented on his own post, writing: “The king is gone.”
Another United supporter was addressed by the fan, who replied: “Honest lol everyone was like what.”
Imagine if it was Harry Maguire leaving the stadium before the final whistle.

During their final preseason match against Rayo Vallecano, Erik ten Hag merely substituted Ronaldo at halftime. Amad Diallo, who scored the lone goal for United in the 1-1 tie, was replaced by him.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was “not on the level” of his Manchester United teammates in terms of match fitness, according to new United manager Ten Hag, before kickoff.
The Dutchman admitted to Sky Sports, “I cannot tell at this time.” “He missed a lot of week, therefore he is obviously not at the level of our current group. As a result, he requires both games and extensive instruction.”
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has reportedly asked to be allowed to leave Manchester United should the Premier League team receive a “acceptable offer” this summer, according to a story from last month.
According to The Times, who claim the 37-year-old feels he has “three or four years” left at the highest level, his choice is motivated by a desire to play in the Champions League for the duration of his career.
Jorge Mendes, Ronaldo’s agent, has undoubtedly been busy lately.
He reportedly spoke to Bayern Munich about a potential transfer and discussed it with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly.
