Teddy Sheringham believes Erik ten Hag has a 'tough' dilemma regarding how much he starts Cristiano Ronaldo in his first season in charge at Manchester United.
Despite some concern that the striker may look to leave Old Trafford for a second time just a year after his return — due to United's failure to qualify for the Champions League — Ronaldo looks set to stay for another season after he revealed he is happy in Manchester and is looking forward to working with new boss Ten Hag. His decision has come as a massive relief as the Portuguese was the club's best outfielder by some distance last season, finishing as top scorer with 24 goals.
Despite his brilliance in front of goal, Sheringham believes Ten Hag will have a tightrope to walk in his handling of Ronaldo. Though the No.7 and fans alike will be demanding that he starts most matches, the United great believes the 37-year-old may struggle to hand such regular game time at his stage of his career.
