The Portuguese superstar has struggled for minutes under the new Man Utd boss.
Cristiano Ronaldo is regaining his best fitness after missing out on Manchester United’s pre-season campaign, according to Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo has started only four games for the Red Devils this season, three of them being in the Europa League. The 37-year-old has shown positive signs of improvement recently, scoring a match-winner for his side in their narrow win over Everton on Sunday.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of Man Utd’s upcoming Europa League clash against Omonoia, Ten Hag said: “He is getting in better shape now and I am happy with that.
“He can contribute more to the squad and I’m sure he will do, it’s proven once again no one can miss pre-season.”
The Man Utd boss added: “I want to support him as good as possible, so we have a certain demand on players.
What we expect from him in certain positions on the pitch and what I do, as with other players, is I want to get the best out of them.”
Ronaldo will most likely start for the Red Devils against Omonoia on Thursday. Let’s see if his performance convinces Ten Hag to keep him in the lineup for United’s next league game against Newcastle.
