Erik ten Hag has described Cristiano Ronaldo as a “giant” of a player and said he is relishing the chance to work with the Manchester United star.
Ten Hag begins his reign as United's new boss today and has outlined his vision for taking the fallen giants back to the very top – which includes a central role for Ronaldo.
United's failure to secure Champions League football had led to suggestions Ronaldo was ready to leave this summer, just a year after his sensational return to Old Trafford. But ten Hag has told the 37-year-old he is looking forward to working with him and utilising his experience and continued influence to plot United's route back to the top.
