The coach wants to see him proving himself more on the pitch rather than during training period, that goal was well hussled for he nod home the goal keeper sent it out but he still made it up inside the goal again. Yes they discuss already, he might still get a chance to start against Westham. Good goal for him, the goal celebration tells me peace of mind, we need hear an interview if what the celebration really says I am curious...in the final game against real Sociedad, United have to win with two goals ahead to claim to top position.
Ten Hag is not well in his communication with Ronaldo that caused the bad reactions from Ronaldo. Honestly, Ronaldo at his age is not able to play pressing if it is what Ten Hag demands. I believe he knows what formation he wants to set up for Manchester United by that I meant Ten Hag did know Ronaldo does not belong to his tactics.
However he was not confident that his plan should work smoothly and he wanted to keep Ronaldo as his last resort in case Manchester United need goals. That is not a respectful treatment for a player like Ronaldo. I believe after the drama and the internal punishment, Ronaldo will be on the right track and totally focus on his contribution for Manchester United.
But I believe Ronaldo does no longer want to play for Manchester United after his contract expires. He will move to another club that gives him enough respect and more appearances.
