DBasia.news – Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the Manchester United team against FC Sheriff in the 2022-2023 Europa League group stage. The Portuguese superstar even marked his debut with a goal.
As is known, Ronaldo was frozen from the Manchester United first team. The sanction was given after he refused to appear as a substitute in the match against Tottenham Hotspur, eight days ago.
As a result of this incident, many people think that Ronaldo has no future at Manchester United. The Portuguese superstar has also been rumored to be moving clubs in the winter transfer market.
However, the situation is quite the opposite. Ten Hag wants to forgive Ronaldo after talking privately after the match against Chelsea.
After the meeting, Ronaldo was immediately allowed to return to training with the first team. Ten Hag then stated that the matter was resolved.
Ronaldo was even immediately revealed as a starter when Manchester United hosted the Sheriff at Old Trafford, Friday (28/10). The opportunity was in fact used to the fullest.
Ronaldo appears eager to score goals. However, a number of experiments showed no results.
Surprisingly enough, Ten Hag did not withdraw his attacker in the second half. But the decision in the end resulted as Ronaldo was able to score a goal in the 81st minute to close the match with a score of 3-0.
The goal is proof that Ronaldo is still alive. Ten Hag did not hesitate to praise him.
“We know he (Ronaldo) has the ability to finish chances and the goals will come. He needs this goal and then more goals will come, I’m sure of that,” Ten Hag said after the game.
With Anthony Martial still injured, Ronaldo’s presence is detrimental for Ten Hag. The former Juventus player can offer experience and high goal instinct to help Manchester United win.
