Manchester United coach Erik Ten Hag commented on Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to the team.
United defeated Sheriff in the fifth round of the Europa League with 3:0, and Ronaldo set the final score in the 81st minute.
Ten Hag pointed out that he was deservedly rewarded with a goal.
– He did not give up, and this principle has guided his entire career. In the end, he got his reward – said the “Red Devils” coach.
This was a great return for the Portuguese, as he had previously been kicked out of the team due to an incident involving entering the field in the Premier League match with Tottenham.
He was not in the competition for the team in the match against Chelsea, he was training with the u21 team, but he was eventually recalled and scored a goal in the return match.
United welcomes West Ham in the next round, so we will see if Cristiano Ronaldo will again compete in the starting line-up, as was the case in the duel with Sheriff, where he played the entire 90 minutes.
