Cristiano Ronaldo accepts he's at Manchester United until at least January, says Erik ten Hag

 

Cristiano Ronaldo facing prospect of staying at Man Utd until at least the re-opening of transfer window in January but manager Erik ten Hag adamant he and the forward are on the same page and he would not stay at Old Trafford if he did not want to

Erik ten Hag says Cristiano Ronaldo would not remain at Manchester United until at least January if he did not want to.

With Thursday's transfer deadline looming, Ronaldo's efforts to leave United in search of Champions League football are nearing a fruitless end, and he faces another five months in Manchester before the re-opening of the window may present an opportunity to move.

Questioned if he had spoken to Ronaldo, United boss Ten Hag said: "Several times, yes. We are on the same page. [He is happy to stay] otherwise he wouldn't be here.",
