Cristiano Ronaldo ‘totally committed’ to Manchester United project, says Erik ten Hag

Cristiano Ronaldo remains “totally committed” to the Manchester United project, manager Erik ten Hag said after the veteran forward scored a penalty in a 2-0 win at Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League on Thursday.

Cristiano Ronaldo still needed at Manchester United, insists Erik ten Hag

The 37-year-old Ronaldo, in his second spell at Old Trafford, had begun to look surplus to requirements and a move away in the transfer window looked likely at some stage.

Ronaldo’s first goal of the season sealed a Group E win that was essential after United had lost their opening game at home to Spaniards Real Sociedad.

Ten Hag said Ronaldo still had a big part to play.

“He has to work really hard and invest to get the right fitness. He will score more goals. He’s really close, when he gets more fitness he will score more.”

United’s win, their third consecutive away from home in all competitions, lifted them to three points in Group E, second behind Real Sociedad who have six.
