Cristiano Ronaldo was absent from the Manchester United travelling party which headed down to London ahead of their clash with Brentford.
Ronaldo missed Man United’s last Premier League game against Aston Villa through injury. His compatriot Bruno Fernandes gave the Red Devils a two-goal lead, but United capitulated and stumbled to a draw.
Ralph Rangnick will, understandably, be desperate to have Ronaldo back in the mix as soon as possible, but will he be fit to take on Brentford in West London tomorrow evening?
That remains unclear, but The Sun report that there was no sign of Ronaldo as Man United flew to London ahead of the game. Although, there may well be a perfectly good explanation.
115 international goals and counting.

Alternatively, Ronaldo could have flown back to Manchester only to find that there was no point heading to Brentford as he continues his recovery from injury. We shall see…
