Cristiano Ronaldo hinted that his immediate future remains at Manchester United - but warned that Erik ten Hag must be given time to bring the glory days back to Old Trafford.
Ronaldo 's sensational return did not alter a disastrous season for the Red Devils, who missed out on Champions League qualification despite the Portuguese icon's 18 Premier League goals. The 37-year-old has one year left on his current contract and the failure to reach Europe's elite competition - a stage Ronaldo has made his own - has prompted rumours he could cut his United homecoming short.
But despite such a dismal campaign, Ronaldo is content in Manchester and says he still has faith that United will be 'back where they belong.' "The feeling when I (came) back again, it was nice to feel the supporters," he said in an interview with the club. "The happiness of them as great. I was - and still am - very happy to be here. I believe that Manchester will be where they belong. As I say before, sometimes it takes time but I still believe.
