Ten Hag explains why he is not bothered about Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence in pre-season
Cristiano Ronaldo has played no part in Manchester United’s pre-season so far after informing the Red Devils he wants to leave this summer.
Despite his intention to quit Old Trafford just 12 months after his emotional homecoming, the 37-year-old looks increasingly likely to remain for another year with his potential escape routes diminishing by the day.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have all distanced themselves from making a move for Ronaldo.
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has revealed he isn’t bothered about Ronaldo’s absence as he is focused on the players with him in camp.
Asked for an update on Cristiano Ronaldo, Ten Hag said: “No, it’s the same as last week.
“Of course, concerning is not the right word, I focus on the players that are here. they are doing really well and they are in great shape. We will integrate him [Ronaldo].”
