Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make his second Manchester United | Manchester United Empire

Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make his second Manchester United debut against Newcastle United after his five day self-isolation period was brought forward due to his international suspension. [Paul Hirst]

Manchester United applied for an “elite sport exemption” on Ronaldo’s behalf, but the government rejected it, so Ronaldo will be treated just like any other traveller who flies to the UK from Portugal. [Paul Hirst]

Ronaldo has had two jabs of the vaccine, and would be clear from quarantine. However, the Premier League is more demanding than the British government, and after traveling from a country on the yellow list, he must quarantine for five days. [Correio da Manhã via Sport Witness]
