Erik ten Haag said Cristiano Ronaldo fits the style of play he wants to bring to Manchester United. However, the manager of the English team noted that the Portuguese superstar needed to improve his fitness.

“I think he can. But first he has to be in shape. He is a fantastic football player, he has proved it many times, but you can always be judged by who you are now, what you represent now, what you are doing now.” , Erik ten Haag told Skysports when asked if Cristiano Ronaldo could match how Manchester United played.

The case of the Portuguese superstar has been a hot topic of discussion this summer. Cristiano Ronaldo, as it became known a few weeks ago, asked to leave Manchester United.

The fact that the Red Devils would not play in the Championship played a decisive role in his decision. After all, the Portuguese is the tournament’s top scorer, first in assists and the player with the most appearances.

The 37-year-old was absent from Manchester United’s tour of Thailand and Australia. He returned to action last week and played 45 minutes in a friendly against Rayo Vallecano.

Cristiano Ronaldo, judging by the photos circulating on the Internet, left before the end of the match.
