Cristiano Ronaldo finally arrived in Manchester City, England, on Saturday (4/9/2021). This is the first time that Cristiano Ronaldo has arrived in the City of Manchester after being announced as a new player for the Red Devils on Tuesday, August 31, 2021.
Quoting from the official Manchester United website, Saturday (4/9/2021), Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at the private Manchester Airport terminal. He was then greeted by his former team-mate and Man United Technical Director, Darren Fletcher.
The Portuguese player could join Manchester United sooner after being relieved of duty from Portugal’s national team matches this weekend and early next week. Because CR7 -Cristiano Ronaldo’s nickname – could not play in the next Group A match for the 2022 World Cup Qualification in the European Zone due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The yellow card received by Cristiano Ronaldo when helping Portugal win 2-1 over Ireland in the Euro 2022 World Cup Qualifying Group A match on Thursday 2 September 2021, made him unable to appear against Azerbaijan later, Tuesday 7 September 2021.
Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed trying to join early, because there are quarantine rules that need to be considered. British government rules state that fully vaccinated people entering from Portugal do not have to self-isolate.
Apart from that. The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from the Portugal national team was also felt to have no significant effect on Fernando Santos’ team. Portugal, who is currently sitting in first place in Group A standings, will face Azerbaijan who have not recorded a win at all.
With the squad that Santos currently has, Ronaldo’s absence should not have an impact on the Portugal national team. So, Portugal is expected to beat Azerbaijan and the Qatar national team in a friendly match which will also be held this week.
The plan is that on Saturday 11 September 2021 evening WIB, Cristiano Ronaldo will make his debut with Manchester United. On that date, Manchester United will host Newcastle United in the fourth week of the Premier League 2021-2022. Straight to the point, Cristiano Ronaldo?
