Ronaldo reportedly giving condition if he remains at Old Trafford
Manchester United permanent manager, Erik ten Hag, in a recent report has given condition to Cristiano Ronaldo if he ends up remaining at Old Trafford next season.
The was made public by Sky Sports reporter, Kaveh Solhekol, who outlined what Man Utd expect from the Portugal star if he remains at the club.
Ronaldo made headlines last weekend after he announced decision to leave Old Trafford this summer over the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.

He has since been linked with moves to Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Napoli.
“If Ronaldo ends up staying at United, he will be expected to work as hard as any other player,” said Solhekol.
“If he leaves, it would suit all parties if the deal was done as quickly as possible. United would let him leave if they receive an offer which suits all parties.
“Ten Hag doesn’t want Ronaldo’s future to be the focus of next season. United cannot afford to have the Ronaldo show distracting them during the rebuild which has just started. It would have suited United if the Ronaldo issue had already been resolved.
“If he doesn’t go on their pre-season tour, there will be lots of questions about why he is not there. If he does go, there will be lots of questions about his future.
“United cannot offer Ronaldo what he wants most next season, which is Champions League football. Any other 37-year-old may be happy to be a substitute and come on for the last 20 minutes of games. But that is obviously not the case with Ronaldo.
“United players will be running harder, faster and farther than last season.”
