Erik ten Hag showed his first signs of frustration at the ongoing saga surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo ’s Manchester United future.
During his first pre-season in charge, the Dutchman has had to contend with continuous speculation regarding Ronaldo, after he made it clear he wishes to leave Old Trafford. Despite being just 12 months removed from signing a two-year deal back at United, the 37-year-old is hoping to engineer an exit to a Champions League.
For the Red Devils’ part they have been adamant that he is not for sale and he remains a part of their squad for the opening weekend of the Premier League season. Whether he will be fit enough to start is another question, having missed out on United’s summer tour of Asia and Australia due to personal issues.
