Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, has revealed that he has not spoken to Cristiano Ronaldo since he asked to leave the club.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag also admitted he doesn\u2019t know when Ronaldo will return to training less than three weeks before the new season starts.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old has missed United\u2019s tour of Thailand and Australia, officially due to a family matter, after the club blocked his attempts to quit Old Trafford this summer.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag backed Ronaldo to be fit for the new campaign even though there has been no contact or indication when Ronaldo will report back for training.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is training. I think we all know Ronaldo is a top professional and he will be fit \u2013 that is the last concern I have.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Cristiano is capable of doing that. In his career, he has shown everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have set my demand. We want to play in a certain way. A top player can contribute and Ronaldo is an absolute top player in our squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe players dictate the way you play. Especially players who score goals because they are extremely important for a team. You construct your team around them,\u201d Ten Hag said in Melbourne.<\/p>\n
