AS Roma, Napoli, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern Munich, Sporting de Lisboa, and even FC Barcelona. During the summer transfer window, Cristiano Ronaldo was linked with many clubs. The Portuguese forward requested to leave Manchester United and play for a Champions League club. However, there was no team determined to strongly bid for the Portuguese player, and now he will have to resign himself to stay at Old Trafford, at least until the winter transfer window. This has been warned by Dutch coach Erik ten Hag.
In the preview of a new Premier League match, Ten Hag said about Cristiano Ronaldo that, once his continuity is confirmed, he will have to adapt to the team's style of play to regain a starting position in the Manchester United lineup.
"He must adapt to our way of playing. In the last season, as well as in previous ones, he has proven a lot of things. But now he must adapt to our way of playing. If he does, I'm sure that with his quality he will make a difference," he said in an interview with the English channel SKY Sports.
"Making decisions requires following your instinct, your feelings, and your emotions. But I must be rational and strategic if we want to lead United in the right direction. I must be analytical, question what is best for the club and the team, what makes it improve. And in this regard, I must be transparent, clear, and communicate it well," he added.
What's Next for Manchester United: Arsenal
After Manchester United's disastrous start to the Premier League, with tough defeats against Brighton and Brentford that raised serious doubts in the team led by Erik Ten Hag, happy days came for the millions of 'Red Devils' fans.
The streak began with the surprising victory (2-1) over Liverpool, and then went on to defeat Southampton and Leicester City by the narrowest margin. Thanks to these results, the red team reached nine points and is currently in fifth place.
"I have seen Arsenal, a tough rival, they have started the season very well as we all know, and you can tell that there is a team that has been together for a long time, with a coach who brings his philosophy to the team," warned Ten Hag about Arteta's team.
