Man Utd vs Brighton: What Ronaldo told Ten Hag in training ahead of EPL clash

Manchester United forward, Cristiano Ronaldo has told manager, Erik ten Hag that he is ready to play in their Premier League opener against Brighton on Sunday.

The 37-year-old has been trying to get a move away from Old Trafford all summer.

However, despite links with Bayern Munich, Sporting Lisbon and Chelsea, Ronaldo hasn’t received any official offers.

Ronaldo missed most of United’s pre-season preparations and only returned to training with his teammates last week.

The Portugal captain played only 45 minutes in the Red Devils; final pre-season friendly against Rayo Vallecano last Sunday.

However, he will be available for selection against Brighton and the Daily Mirror reports that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has been “flying” in training and has made it clear to Ten Hag that he is fit enough to feature on Sunday.
