SunSport revealed on Tuesday that Manchester United were hopeful their wantaway star would make a U-turn following a club-record £206.7million summer transfer spree.

“We are happy with him, he’s happy to be here and we want to make the season a success together.”

Ronaldo has been out of the starting line-up for the last two games against Liverpool and Southampton.
Ten Hag has opted for a front three of Anthony Elanga, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

Ten Hag added: “He will fit in because… I don’t have to explain.
“He is a great player. He will fit in every system or every style.”
Ronaldo has featured in all four top-flight games this term, though he is yet to find the back of the net.
