The Portuguese forward was punished for an incident in a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on 19 October, where he stormed down the tunnel in the 89th minute.

There were question marks over when Ten Hag would allow the striker back into his squad.

The Manchester United boss has now confirmed that he will be available for the encounter with FC Sheriff.
In his pre-match presser, Ten Hag said (via Manchester Evening News):

“It’s not difficult. But I think we said everything and we answered all the questions, he was out for one game and is back in the squad as usual.”

Ten Hag was not willing to field any more questions over the situation regarding Ronaldo as he wants full concentration on the Sheriff game:

“You don’t have to [ask more questions] because we will not answer anymore, so all the questions, I think, are everything we explained and we have to focus on the game tomorrow. We have an important game because we want to be number one in the group.”

The Dutchman concluded by stressing that the saga was over and that the forward is now back in his squad:
“I don’t have to do it anymore, It’s done, he’s back, focus on the game, that’s important that Cristiano is involved in the squad tomorrow.”

Ronaldo will be hoping to get back into form against Sheriff as he has struggled at the start of the season.

The striker has notched just two goals in 12 appearances across competitions.
