sid/dpa. Frankfurt ⋅ Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo wants to win titles and trophies with new coach Erik ten Hag at Manchester United in the coming season. He is still “very happy” at the traditional club in Old Trafford, said the 37-year-old Portuguese in a video message distributed by Man United. Recently, there was speculation about a possible change of Ronaldo, since the top English club had missed qualifying for the Champions League.
You have to give the Dutchman ten Hag, who did “a fantastic job” at Ajax Amsterdam, “time to change things in his own way,” said Ronaldo. “I wish him the best and I believe that we will win trophies next year.” The Red Devils had finished the Premier League season in sixth place and thus missed the premier class. In the coming season, the team under ten Hag wants to start the next attack. “For me, the most important thing is to win games and try to win a league or cups,” said the multiple world footballer. Ronaldo believes Manchester will soon be back ‘where they belong’. The Portuguese had previously played for Man United from 2003 to 2009. The top scorer said he was warmly welcomed by the fans on his return. “Obviously I was happy to be back at the club that really pushed my career forward – so the feeling when I came back was incredible.”
