Ronaldo was absent from Man Utd’s preseason and is now having to settle for a bench seat in most of the games.
We will have to wait to see if the experienced Portugal international can adapt to Ten Hag’s style. The team is flourishing thanks to Marcus Rashford’s improved form and the contributions of others who were there in Ronaldo’s place.
Fabrizio Romano, an exclusive columnist for CaughtOffside, said that Ronaldo will soon be featured more for Ten Hag. The 37-year old is professional and has not had any issues with the Dutch tactician’s decisions.
Romano stated that Cristiano is performing at his best, he is not causing any problems in training sessions, and he is respectful of Erik ten Hag’s decisions.
Ronaldo has been spending a lot of time sitting on the bench but Manchester United knows that Ten Hag wants him to be involved more in the coming weeks.”
United supporters will hope that things don’t turn sour between their club, and this iconic figure in their history. Romano’s words will prove to be encouraging.
Former United player Luke Chadwick said that he believed Ronaldo would still play a significant role in the team’s success this season, even if he doesn’t start every game.
Chadwick stated that although Ronaldo may not be able to play every game due to the huge number of fixtures and the World Cup year’s way of cramming them in, there will still be opportunities for him.
“I was expecting him to leave but he seems like he is in a good place. His attitude’s been bang on.”
Ronaldo, who scored 24 goals last season for United, finished as the club’s top scorer despite a poor season overall.
