Cristiano Ronaldo is keeping his Manchester United promise despite Erik ten Hag stance

Since Manchester United's bruising 4-0 defeat to Brentford, Cristiano Ronaldo has not started a single Premier League game for the Reds.

Erik ten Hag has instead turned to the 37-year-old when selecting all four of his Europa League starting XIs this season. Anthony Martial's injury-enforced substitution at Goodison Park last weekend saw Ronaldo come on after just half an hour had been played, and it did not take him long to make an impact.

Casemiro played a perfectly weighted through ball to his former Real Madrid teammate to calmly slot home past Jordan Pickford. Ronaldo's 700th club goal sealed all three points for his side, as he added his left-footed strike to the growing list of times he has come to the rescue for United during his career.
