Erik Ten Hag has said that Cristiano Ronaldo will have to fight for his place if he wants to play regularly for Manchester United.

The Dutch boss has made a good impression since arriving to lead pre-season training in July, and has gained a reputation for his strict, authoritative nature so far.

It seems every player will have to work hard and prove themselves as a football player and a professional if they want a place in the new manager's plans - and even superstar Ronaldo seems to be part of that rule.

Ten Hag did an interview with Sky Sports (Via UtdDistrict), where he said that all players, including the 37-year-old, will have to prove that they deserve a place in the team.

"I think he can. It starts with he has to get fit, he just started. He is a fantastic football player – he's proved it so many times. You (Will always) be judged on what you are presenting now, performing now, so the team and Cristiano himself has to prove (That he deserves to be in the team)"

He finished, talking more generally: "We know what we want. It's not about signing players, it's about signing the right players, so we are really planning it carefully – we are strict to that, hard working to get the right players in to construct a good squad."

Who told u clubs are not willing to sign him?? How logical is that... in the history of football transfers, hv u ever seen a player hand out a transfer request if no club is interested in signing the player?? The press and messi fans just de decieve una... if no club was interested in signing him ybman u come no gree am comot .. simple reasoning should tell u that he wudnt be fighting to leave if there were no interested clubs...

Just as Man U will be fighting to remain in the Europa League

well as it stand now, there is no official request from any club whatsoever for him, though he had offered his service to number of clubs with all declining him. the recent attempt by athletico madrid to sign him was prevented by their fans protesting madly about it.
