This season, Ronaldo has barely started a game for Manchester United which I think is an indication that the coach doesn't believe in his ablities. Ten Hag gave his reasons to be that Ronaldo is not fit to start which I don't see truth in, I would rather start Ronaldo and take him off in the second half of the game instead of bringing him at the end of the game.
Ten Hag didn't like a typical player like Ronaldo, we already know it before the season started. That's why Ronaldo really wants to leave Man United, but sadly he didn't find a proper club to move to. Sure, Ten Hag didn't trust Ronaldo, he prefers to choose young players as a starter in CF position in every match. It is clear that Ten Hag always chooses Rashford over Ronaldo, he may think Rashford is a better choice for the striker to optimize his strategy. I think the problem is Ten Hag thinks Ronaldo isn't fit with his strategy.
Ten has has been giving chance for ronaldo and he was still believe in ronaldo. Calling ten had didn't like him was not a correct statement. The problem is ronaldo can't adapt with new united. he was not aware if the current united was actually different compared when it was being managed by sir alex ferguson. He was moving from his old club caused by seeing MU was a big team like before. I think that ten haag was picking up the starting line based on the performance from the players.
It can be seen from what happened with meguire that is rarely playing for MU again.
