EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United ace, Cristiano Ronaldo on Wednesday, shared an update for the first time since starting Manchester United’s Premier League season opener against Brighton on the bench.
The Portugal captain has told United he wants to leave the club this summer in pursuit of Champions League football, while also being unhappy about the club’s inactivity in the transfer market and the salary reduction that has been imposed upon him.
Going into the game against Brighton, there was a feeling that Ronaldo could have bagged himself a start, but instead, it was Christian Eriksen who led the line, ultimately disappointing as the false nine with the Portuguese superstar coming on In the second half.
Erik Ten Hag explained that the decision was down to Ronaldo’s match fitness, with the forward not taking part in a full pre-season with his teammates after only playing 45 minutes of a single friendly game against Rayo Vallecano. Ronaldo left that game early after being substituted at half-time to further intensify speculation about his future at Old Trafford.
He missed the pre-season tour of Asia and Australia due to “family reasons”, an excuse the club accept but his lack of fitness played a contribution to him not being in Erik ten Hag’s first United starting XI for a competitive fixture.
No United player has shared anything on their social media channels since the fixture, but Ronaldo broke that silence on Wednesday evening.
Ronaldo shared an update on his social media channels for the first time since the Brighton game, hinting he’s been working hard to regain his fitness and force his way into Erik ten Hag’s side.
Posting on his accounts, he shared images of himself hard at work during the club’s latest training session, where it appears he did his best to impress Erik ten Hag ahead of the next fixture against Brentford.
Alongside the images, Ronaldo wrote: “Hard work always pays off.”
