Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag makes Cristiano Ronaldo claim amid difficult period

Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag has insisted Cristiano Ronaldo can still have a positive impact for his side this season despite the striker enduring a difficult start to the season.

Ronaldo has registered just three goals in 16 appearances for the Reds so far this term, with the forward making just 10 starts for Ten Hag's men in all competitions. The 37-year-old, who expressed his desire to leave the club in the summer, has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford in the new year.

However, his manager still believes that the Portuguese star can play an important role for United in the second-half of the campaign, suggesting that the former Real Madrid man is popular among his teammates.
