Erik Ten Hag provides an update on Cristiano Ronaldo's status at Manchester United amid leave rumors
Since he allegedly stated that he wanted to leave Old Trafford, Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Manchester United has been a hotly debated subject.
Since the Portuguese international apparently stated his wish to quit the club, Cristiano Ronaldo's future at Manchester United has been a hotly debated subject. Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils' head coach, has offered a significant update amidst all the rumors and conjecture.
A significant update on Cristiano Ronaldo's future is provided by Erik ten Hag.
New manager Erik ten Hag commented on recent rumours that said Cristiano Ronaldo is eager to leave Manchester United this summer, as reported by Sky Sports "That is all we are doing with Ronaldo this season: preparing. I'm eager to collaborate with him."
Upon being pressed to comment to whether the 37-year-old was eager to leave Old Trafford this summer, the Dutch manager said, "He hasn't revealed anything to me. I've read, but Cristiano isn't for sale, as I said. He is part of our plans, and success is something we all want." Ten Hag added the following to his remarks: "Before this situation arose, I spoke to Ronaldo. I spoke with him, and we had a great conversation."
Ronaldo's absence from preseason fuels further future speculation
The future of Cristiano Ronaldo remains uncertain, particularly after the Portuguese international was left off of Manchester United's preseason trip of Thailand and Australia. The Red Devils have acknowledged that their top forward received time off to attend to "family concerns." It's important to remember that according to reports, the 37-year-old earlier skipped two days of training for the same reason.
The Portuguese international is rumored to be eager to leave Old Trafford in order to play for a team that will participate in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) next season. Manchester United didn't make the UCL this year after finishing with just 58 points, 13 points outside the top four, and a shocking 35 points behind champions Manchester City.
Given that Ronaldo is already 37 years old, it is assumed that he intends to continue his fantastic career by playing football at the highest level for as long as he can. Despite the lackluster play of the rest of the team last season, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner finished as the team's top scorer with 18 goals from 30 Premier League matches.
