Ferdinand stated on his FIVE channel that he thinks Ronaldo's family-related absence from practice is a valid excuse and that the team hasn't been clear enough about it.
"Yeah, he might want to go, he might not be happy with some things at the football club, but in terms of professionalism, this guy is training where he is—we've seen the images," he remarked.
"You have to appreciate the fact that his family is there and that he has to be there. simply put. Could the club have done a better job of communicating it? Probably.”

Ronaldo won't be the only player to be disgruntled.
Ferdinand claims that Ronaldo will be extremely unhappy by United's lack of summer signings, with left-back Tyrell Malacia being the only one who has been officially announced.
He claims that Ronaldo's discontent is a result of how uncompetitive United was last season and that no action has been taken to fix it this summer.
He said: "He'll be wondering when my team is going to start moving. We all agree that the facility needs some fresh faces. He hasn't noticed any motion. I can relate to your frustrations. I would undoubtedly become frustrated.
I asked David Gill, the manager, "Who are we signing? " as a player. That was how I was. That's how Cristiano is, and I have no doubt that other players will be, too. Although he is the most well-known, he won't be the only one who is unhappy with the state of affairs.
"We're dragging our feet in the transfer market. Man United will undoubtedly have been working behind the scenes, but we're all human, impatient, and eager for it to be finished.
Ferdinand cited significant transfers by City for Erling Haaland and Kalvin Phillips, as well as Liverpool's acquisition of Darwin Nunez, as examples of how two elite teams are moving away from United.

Teammates are unlikely to voice their annoyance in the same way that Ronaldo does, but if he is not satisfied, he has the stature and medals of honor to do so and demand a change. It's reasonable to be frustrated with him.
David de Gea is undoubtedly a teammate who shares these sentiments and is driven to succeed, but he is not likely to seek leaving the club since he wants to stick there and fight for it.
However, Ronaldo is aware that his time at the top is limited and is eager to avoid going through another discouraging season like the one he recently went through.
The club has experienced a significant uplift under the leadership of new manager Erik ten Hag, who is determined to maintain the optimistic vibe.
Malacia won't be the only new arrival; Christian Eriksen is also expected to join the team, while Lisandro Martinez, Antony, and Frenkie de Jong are all on the club's radar.
One issue is whether the club will be able to bring everyone to the finish line. The second is whether these will be even remotely sufficient to restore United's competitiveness. It will undoubtedly be much more difficult without Ronaldo.
