Erik ten Hag makes crucial Cristiano Ronaldo decision ahead of Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Reports

By Matthew Guyett Modified 06 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Ronaldo set to come back into Ten Hag's starting XI Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has decided to recall Cristiano Ronaldo for his side's clash with Real Sociedad in the Europa League, as per the Mirror. The Red Devils take on Sociedad at Old Trafford on September 8 and Ten Hag appears to be willing to give Ronaldo a starting role in the fixture. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has spent time on the substitutes bench, having not started United's last four games. He came on in the second half of those games but has not been a starter since Ten Hag's side's demoralizing 4-0 thrashing at Brentford on August 13.

He too was dropped by Ten Hag following the defeat to Brentford and has struggled to displace Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez at centre-back. Manchester United have impressed following Ten Hag's decision to drop both Ronaldo and Maguire, with four wins on the trot. The Dutch tacitican is aware of a risk of burnout and is ready to rest the likes of Martinez, Varane and Tyrell Malacia. Casemiro who was a £60 million summer acquisition from Real Madrid, is set to be given his first start whilst his Brazilian compatriot Fred is likely to be recalled. Anthony Elanga is likely to come in for either Jadon Sancho or Marcus Rashford. New £85 million signing Antony is set to keep his place in the side and he had a debut to remember on the weekend, scoring in the 3-1 win over Arsenal.
