MANCHESTER UNITED star Cristiano Ronaldo has played under Sir Alex Ferguson and Erik ten Hag during his two stints at Old Trafford.

And he’s still keen to play for a team in the Champions League as the close of the summer transfer window edges closer. The Portugal international had, prior to that, asked to leave. "But, if a player’s not happy at the club and he wants to leave, then you need to make a decision for the greater good and say ‘ok, maybe it’s better we part ways’ and look for somebody else. "I can understand that a manager wants to keep a player like this, because he’s of great value for the club and the team. “So if he’s in the dressing room and he really wants to leave, and he’s not himself, or he’s sitting there by himself or he’s not in a good mood, then it has an impact on the players for sure. "The experience that he has, Ronaldo, the age that he has, he also knows that he has an impact on players, on the team, so I cannot believe that he’s there moping and having a bad influence on players.

Erik ten Hag has asserted that Manchester United want to keep Cristiano Ronaldo despite benching the striker in recent weeks.
