One question that's on everyone's lips: Will Ronaldo play against Brighton? 

Manchester United will begin their climb back to the top of the Premier League with a dominating victory over Brighton in their opening game of the Premier League. Manchester United are expected to offload a large chunk of their current squad during their opening fixture at Old Trafford potentially breaking into ‘double figures, according to predicts before the clash. The Red Devils are preparing to enter a new era under Erik ten Hag, who has agreed to officially move into the hot seat at the end of the season, and it seems the Dutchman could make wholesale changes. Cristiano Ronaldo has been at the center of all the news surrounding Man United in the summer. The 37-year-old has informed the club of his decision to leave to compete in the Champions League, and he has not traveled with the rest of the squad for the pre-season tour, citing family reasons. However, Ronaldo is still at the Reds and could play a role in Manchester United's opening match against Brighton. According to the Mirror, Ronaldo is "flying" in training and urged Tin Hag to play with him on Sunday, despite the Portuguese striker playing only 45 minutes in pre-season. Things seem to have gone downhill with regards to Cristiano Ronaldo, as Eric ten Hag was ready to start with Anthony Martial against Brighton but the Frenchman was left out after taking a knock. This could make Ronaldo lead the Red Devils' streak, as the Don could partner with Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho in the attack. However, there is also the possibility that Ronaldo will start the match against Brighton on the bench due to his lack of match intensity. However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner posted a message on his social media stating that he is ready for the new season.
