Cristiano Ronaldo pictured working out at home after Manchester United match postponed

Manchester United's match with Brentford may have been postponed on Tuesday night, but Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't used it as an excuse to take any time off.

United should have been preparing for a night of Premier League action against the division's newcomers Brentford, but the match was postponed on Monday night with less than 24 hours to go before kick-off.

The match was called off due to a Covid-19 breakout at United, which saw first-team operations at their Carrington training complex closed for 24 hours on Monday after a number of players and staff returned positive lateral flow tests.

The Manchester Evening News is aware of at least four positive cases but the club has declined to specify how many players and members of staff have tested positive.

With the squad's usual schedule of training and a match thrown into disarray, they could be forgiven for taking a rare opportunity to put their feet up.

Yet there is absolutely no chance of that happening with Ronaldo who, instead of taking it easy, posted a video of himself to Instagram keeping his fitness up by working on his cardio.

The Portuguese was put through his paces on the treadmill and on an exercise bike as he made up for the lack of on-field action.

A new date for the Brentford fixture is yet to be announced.
