Cristiano Ronaldo has told Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag he wants to fight for his place and up his fitness levels after their midweek bust-up.
The Portuguese threw a strop by refusing to come on as a late sub against Tottenham on Wednesday and then headed for the dressing room before the final whistle. The striker was axed from United’s squad for the trip to Chelsea yesterday and banished to train on his own.
But now Ronaldo has told his boss he wants to get his head down and return to the group in a move that will suit both the player and United. Ronaldo is desperate to arrive at the World Cup with Portugal next month in peak condition and he knows he won’t achieve that if he is training by himself.
