Erik ten Hag has insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo is “totally committed” to Manchester United after he broke his season drought in Europa League action.
The Portuguese was selected to start for the Red Devils in their second Europa League group against Sheriff Tiraspol and scored his first goal of the season from the penalty spot after compatriot Diogo Dalot had been fouled. Of course, it was uncertain whether Ronaldo would ever play for United again earlier this summer after he lodged a request to leave Old Trafford just a year after his emotional return from Juventus.
With the window now shut, the 37-year-old is set to remain as a Red Devil until January at the very least and Ten Hag has reaffirmed that Ronaldo remains dedicated to the club and stated that he is closing in on full fitness having missed large swaths of pre-season as questions swirled over his future.
