Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid squad to face Manchester United

Cristiano Ronaldo in Real Madrid squad to face Manchester United Featured

Cristiano Ronaldo is in Real Madrid's squad to face Manchester United on Tuesday, days after admitting he wants to return to England.

The 32-year-old had been expected to miss the Super Cup clash in Skopje having missed first-team training following an extended leave due to Portugal's run in the Confederations Cup in Russia this summer.

Ronaldo, who is facing charges of evading £13m tax, told a Madrid court last week that he wants to return to England, according to Sky sources.

Manchester United sold Ronaldo to Real Madrid for £80m in 2009 and Jose Mourinho said last month re-signing the player was "mission impossible".

Ronaldo signed a new-five year Real Madrid contract last November.

Following the UEFA Super Cup final against United, Real Madrid take on arch-rivals Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup first leg at the Nou Camp on Sunday night, live on Sky Sports Football from 8.55pm.

Real Madrid squad to face Manchester United:

Goalkeepers: Keylor Navas, Kiko Casilla, Luca Zidane

Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Jesus Vallejo, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Nacho, Marcelo, Theo Hernandez, Achraf Hakimi

Midfielders: Toni Kroos, Luka Modric, Casemiro, Marcos Llorente, Marco Asensio, Isco, Mateo Kovacic, Dani Ceballos

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Lucas Vazquez, Borja Mayoral
