Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag shuts down questions on Cristiano Ronaldo #IndiaNEWS #Sports ,Football
Melbourne, July 14 (IANS) Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag was in no mood to talk about Cristiano Ronaldos future as clubs pre-season tour arrived in Melbourne on Thursday.
We made a statement and nothing has changed, said ten Hag ahead of Fridays friendly match against A-League outfit Melbourne Victory at the MCG.
The Portuguese striker missed the flight to Thailand and is currently training on his own at the Portuguese national teams training base after being given additional time off due to a family issue.
A day before, ten Hag had emphasised that star forward Ronaldo is in his plans for the season ahead and the 37-year-old Portuguese is not for sale.
The star striker isnt on the trip amid speculation over his Old Trafford future and the Dutch coach gave short shrift to a press conference question about the 37-year-olds plans.
United continue to insist that Ronaldo is not leaving the club but it is no clearer as to whether he will link up with the rest of the squad on their three-match Australian leg of the tour.
Speaking before Uniteds 4-0 win over Liverpool in Bangkok earlier this week, Ten Hag slammed the door shut on Ronaldos attempts to leave Old Trafford.
Ronaldo has asked to leave United, who will be playing Europa League football in the season ahead, should the right offer come in and he isnt on the tour after being granted compassionate leave for personal reasons.
We are planning for Cristiano Ronaldo for the season and thats it. Im looking forward to working with him. Cristiano is not for sale. He is in our plans and we want success together, ten Hag was quoted as saying by Dailymail.
The Dutch coach added, Hes not with us and its due to personal issues. I spoke with him before this issue came up. I had a conversation with him and I had a good talk. That is between Cristiano and me.
