Ronaldo will stay at MU if new coach Ten Hag wants

Cristiano Ronaldo has told his team-mates he plans to stay at Manchester United - but only if new manager Erik ten Hag wants him in the squad.

The Portuguese superstar wants to see out the final year of his contract at Old Trafford despite the Red Devils failing to qualify for next year's Champions League.

It was feared that without qualification for Europe's biggest tournament, Ronaldo would leave. But before new boss Ten Hag arrived, a United insider revealed: "Ronaldo has told the players he won't go anywhere unless the club say they don't want him."

"Nobody is more disappointed than him with how the season has gone. But he doesn't want to leave on a losing note and wants to help the club get back into the Champions League and try to win trophies next year. "However, he has told them if the new manager wants to go in a different direction, then he is ready to go and has no regrets about leaving Old Trafford."

Several young stars in the Man United squad, including 20-year-old winger Anthony Elanga, are keen for Ronaldo to stay as they believe they can learn a lot from him.

Ronaldo is still playing impressively at the age of 37 and is the brightest star of the team. But his efforts alone are not enough to revive the team in crisis.

After this season, interim coach Ralf Rangnick will move to an advisory role and the person chosen to replace him is Erik ten Hag. The Dutch strategist is likely to make strong changes to the team's personnel and Ronaldo's future is still unclear.
