Erik ten Hag won't stand in Cristiano Ronaldo's way to a Manchester United exit in January, according to fresh claims.
The 37-year-old megastar wanted to leave Old Trafford during the summer transfer window but failed to secure a move away, despite the efforts of super agent Jorge Mendes. It's left Ronaldo as a benchwarmer for the Red Devils, with Ten Hag handing him mere two starts since United's 4-0 humiliation at Brentford on August 13 - his only starting berth in seven Premier League games this season.
Back then, the Dutch coach was keen to keep the five-time Ballon d'Or winner for his maiden campaign in the Old Trafford hot seat. Now, though, Ten Hag is ready to sanction his exit, with Ronaldo eyeing a January departure, according to the Telegraph.
