What Erik ten Hag Said About Cristiano Ronaldo transfer question and vows Man Utd will ‘strike’

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has cast doubt over Cristiano Ronaldo’s future for the first time after Saturday’s 1-0 win at Southampton. Bruno Fernandes’ second-half strike secured back-to-back Premier League victories, but the post-match questioning once again gravitated towards Ten Hag’s wantaway number seven.

Ronaldo started on the bench for the second successive outing and third time in four Premier League games this season at St. Mary’s. The 37-year-old took to the pitch for Jadon Sancho after 68 minutes and looked lethargic and ineffective as United fought to hold onto their narrow lead.

After full-time, Ten Hag was asked whether Ronaldo would be at Old Trafford beyond the September 1 transfer deadline. And despite spending the whole summer insisting the Portuguese icon is in his plans, he was interestingly coy on his future with five days of the window left. He said: “I can’t say that [Ronaldo will stay]. We will be alert until the last second in the transfer market.”
