Erik ten Hag reacted with frustration and refused to answer questions about Cristiano Ronaldo in his press conference ahead of Manchester United ’s game against FC Sheriff.
Ten Hag faced the press on Wednesday morning to preview Thursday’s evening Europa League match at Old Trafford. The match will see Ronaldo rejoin the United squad after he was dropped from the squad to face Chelsea on Saturday and fined after refusing to come off the bench against Tottenham. Ronaldo and Ten Hag held showdown talks on Monday before the 37-year-old forward returned to training.
The situation around Ronaldo has dominated discussions around the club over the past week, with speculation over his future returning after a summer in which he agitated for a transfer. But with United second in Group E of the Europa League and needing a victory over Sheriff to put pressure on leaders Real Sociedad, Ten Hag was in no mood to talk about Ronaldo.
