Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo does not tell him in their private conversations that he wants to leave the club.
Ronaldo has been heavily linked with an exit from Old Trafford this summer.
It is believed the 37-year-old is desperate to play in the Champions League to continue his legacy in the competition.
But according to Ten Hag, Ronaldo’s desire to leave is an assumption in the public space.
“Cristiano Ronaldo wishes to leave? That is your assumption, not what Cristiano is telling me.
“I deal with the players we have and we plan with him [Ronaldo] for this season and we have to fit him into the team,” Ten Hag told reporters.
