CRISTIANO RONALDO has returned to training after missing the Manchester Derby.

The 37-year-old flew out to Portugal after being dropped for the clash with fierce rivals Manchester City – which United lost 4-1.

And manager Ralf Rangnick later confirmed that he was missing the match due to a problem with his hip flexor.

Now he has come back to Man Utd's Carrington training ground ahead of a crunch clash against Tottenham at the weekend.

And he was flanked by bodyguards as he returned to join up with the rest of the Red Devils' squad.

But Ronaldo's future has been thrown into question after missing Sunday's derby.

Rangnick has previously explained all the players do their rehabilitation in Manchester rather than abroad if they are injured – bringing into focus Ronaldo's flight to Portugal.

And his team-mates were left shocked when he did not turn up for Saturday’s club meal.

And he failed to make any sort of impact off the bench at the weekend.
