Even though he will be playing Thursday night football, the Portuguese superstar insists he is'very glad' to stay at Old Trafford next season.
Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed that he will continue to play for Manchester United this summer.
According to Sport news, Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed his desire to stay at Old Trafford and believes Manchester United will improve under new manager Erik ten Hag after a disappointing season in 2021-22.

Ronaldo returned to Manchester United and scored 24 goals in 38 games, finishing as the club's leading scorer in all competitions.

While it was a remarkable season for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, it was a dismal one for the Red Devils, who finished sixth in the Premier League without a trophy and missed out on Champions League football.
Ronaldo, dubbed 'Mr Champions League,' has appeared in the European club championship for 19 seasons in a row, scoring 140 goals and winning the trophy five times.
The fact that United failed to qualify for the competition sparked talk that the Portuguese legend may depart Old Trafford for the second time.
However, in a recent interview with the club, Ronaldo stated that he was glad to stay at the club and that he was confident that the new season will bring about a turnaround under the new manager.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a forward for Manchester United.
"Of course, I was pleased to be back in a club that helped me advance my career, so the feeling when I returned was incredible."
It was wonderful to sense the enthusiasm of the supporters; their joy was palpable.
"I was and continue to be ecstatic to be here, and I have to say that the fans are incredible."
They always support us and are there for us, even when we lose games. My heart is always with the supporters, and it is the people that we should all respect since they are always on our side." ManUtd's Ronaldo said
Erik Ten Hag is the next manager of Manchester United.
"For me, the most important thing is to win games and to win a championship or a cup, but I believe Manchester will return to their rightful place. As I previously stated, it takes time, but I continue to believe "He went on to remark.
As new manager Erik ten Hag continues the club's restoration, Ronaldo and his teammates will be aiming to prevent a recurrence of last season's underperformance.
