New Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has spoken about striker Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time since it was announced he was entering the Old Trafford dugout.
Ronaldo is set to be the Red Devils’ only striker upon Ten Hag’s arrival, with Edinson Cavani out of contract this summer. It is no secret that the manager will be in the market for reinforcements, though he appears to have big plans for Ronaldo.
The striker has scored 18 goals in 30 Premier League appearances so far this season, though some have questioned whether the 37-year-old would even have a future at the club. There were suggestions that he could push for a move given that United would not be playing Champions League football next season and instead would be competing in the Europa League/European Conference League.
