Erik ten Hag has claimed Cristiano Ronaldo could stay at Manchester United beyond the expiry of his contract with the club and that the Portuguese is capable of fitting into his high-pressing style.

Speculation has swirled around Ronaldo’s future since it was revealed he had made clear his desire to leave to those inside Old Trafford. The 37-year-old has one year remaining on his deal and, having not joined United’s pre-season tour of the far east and Australia because of personal reasons, it was expected he would be granted a departure from the club he rejoined less than a year ago before the start of the next campaign.
