Cristiano Ronaldo is “ready to start” in the majority of Manchester United’s games this season, Erik Ten Hag has revealed.
Ronaldo was relegated to the bench for the start of the new season amid heated transfer rumors that he will leave Old Trafford.
However, Red Devils manager Ten Hag thinks the striker is now completely match fit and prepared to start for the Red Devils on a regular basis.
This points at Ronaldo possibly getting what will be just his second start of the 22/23 campaign.
🚨 Ronaldo is almost certain to start tomorrow against Real Sociedad, which will be a huge opportunity for him to reclaim that starting spot going forward.
An opportunity that he will no doubt be absolutely RELISHING with his record against Sociedad…
