Portugal boss Fernando Santos has backed Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to stay at Manchester United next season.
The 37-year-old has seemingly indicated he will be staying at Old Trafford for another 12 months. There had been some doubt over whether the five-time Balllon d’Or winner would see out the final year of his contract, having signed a two-year deal upon his return to United last summer.
But, upon receiving the club’s Player of the Year award, Ronaldo gave his clearest indication yet that he intends on staying put. The Portugal international insisted he is still happy at United, and is looking forward to working under new manager Erik ten Hag.
