According to tier-one journalist Pedro Almeida, a reliable source for Portuguese transfers, Cristiano Ronaldo has ‘accepted’ his fate of staying at Manchester United for another season.<\/p>\n
Almeida understands Casemiro’s arrival as our fourth new signing is the main reason behind Ronaldo’s change of heart.<\/p>\n
Realistically speaking, Borussia Dortmund rejected the chance to sign the 37-year-old recently. That leaves him with no option to leave United, as nearly all big Champions League sides have decided not to sign him.<\/p>\n
Ronaldo, thus, is set to play in the Europa League for the first time since leaving Sporting CP for United as a teenager.<\/p>\n
Despite ending last season as our top scorer with 24 goals, Cristiano is yet to score in 2022\/23 so far.<\/p>\n
“I don’t know why he [Ronaldo] is a particular focus after Saturday, it was the team performance. The whole team’s attitude [was wrong] including Ronaldo,” Erik ten Hag told a press conference as he looked back at the Brentford humbling.<\/p>\n
“I think I made myself clear, I was definitely not happy,” the manager added.<\/p>\n
“In football you can talk about football, you can talk about the plan and philosophy but it starts with the basic stuff, the right attitude, fighting attitude and I didn’t see that from minute one. Bring it in every game on the pitch, especially Monday night.”<\/p>\n
When pressed on Ronaldo’s future at Man United, Ten Hag gave a short answer: “He’s in our plans, that’s what I can say.”<\/p>\n
It looks like Cristiano Ronaldo is here to stay after no club has been willing to take him for the next season.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old would be a massive asset for Ten Hag if he focuses on his game and not on his attempts to force a move out. It remains to be seen whether he keeps agitating for an exit until September 1 when the window closes, however.<\/p>\n
Cristiano Ronaldo remains part of Manchester United’s project despite his clear intention to leave the club.<\/p>\n
According to ESPN FC, the 37-year-old will not be going anywhere even though his desire to leave is becoming a ‘negative influence’.
\nWhile Cristiano has been training well since returning to Carrington earlier this month, the Portuguese is not hiding ‘his keenness for a move’ away.<\/p>\n
Erik ten Hag is said to be concerned about bringing any negativity behind the scenes with confidence already fragile on the back of two Premier League defeats.<\/p>\n
