5 Man Utd players set to benefit from Cristiano Ronaldo's new role under Erik ten Hag

Cristiano Ronaldo has told Erik ten Hag that he's ready to help Manchester United 's youngsters lead the club back to success.

The 37-year-old, who arrived at Old Trafford as a scrawny teenager nearly two decades ago before going down as one of their greatest-ever players, is committed to helping new boss Ten Hag - renowned for trusting young players over four-and-a-half glittering years at Ajax - bring back the glory days and hopes the stars of the club's famous academy can be a driving force.

"I'm in favour that we should give opportunities to the young generation because they will be the future," Ronaldo told the Red Devils' website. "You have to give them time, the opportunity, and let them grow in a normal way without pressure. They understand, to achieve success you have to sacrifice, work hard, have work ethic, dedication. But, of course, if the kids ask me for advice I will give my opinion and advice because I want to help."
