Cristiano Ronaldo leaves Old Trafford BEFORE end of Rayo Vallecano draw as wantaway Man Utd star hooked at half-time

MANCHESTER UNITED star Cristiano Ronaldo has been snapped departing Old Trafford BEFORE the end of their 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

SunSport understands Ronaldo left ten minutes before the final whistle.

The 37-year-old was playing his first game of pre-season after taking extended leave as he tries to force his exit from the club.

But he failed to impress, as rusty Ron spurned a key chance in the first half from just a few yards out.

He was even seen shrugging at new boss Erik Ten Hag during a water break as the Dutch gaffer laid out his tactical plan to his squad.

Ronaldo was subsequently hooked at half-time after an uninspiring cameo.

And his mood will not have been improved as his replacement, Amad Diallo, scored just two minutes after coming off the bench.

Vallecano went on to equalise through Alvaro Garcia as the friendly finished 1-1 at Old Trafford.

But Ronaldo did not know the final score as he sauntered out of the stadium.

It is not known whether he was given permission to do so.

In images shared by Twitter user , the Real Madrid legend could be seen walking out the stadium.

In a series of tweets, he said: "Not even waited for the final whistle."

Before adding: "The king is gone."

And it was a view shared by his fellow United supporters who believe it is a sign that the forward is on his way out.

Ronaldo has already informed the Red Devils of his desire to leave earlier this month

Commenting on the images of Ronaldo leaving Old Trafford early, one supporter posted: "Probably the last time we'll see him in OT which is a shame to say."

Another messaged: "I’ve accepted he ain’t part of this club something deffo happened at half time."

A third added: "Probably his last game!"

Meanwhile this fan simply said: "He's forcing himself out of another club yet people will still call him a model professional."

One then simply stated: "Last ditch attempt to force a move."

Vallecano equalised through Alvaro Garcia as the friendly finished 1-1 at Old Trafford.
