Cristiano Ronaldo Frustrated Not to Be Playing - Ten Hag

Manchester United Manager Erik ten Hag says Cristiano Ronaldo is frustrated when he is not playing but dismissed suggestions the forward could be sold.

Ronaldo was an unused substitute in Sunday's crushing 6-3 derby defeat to Man City, with Ten Hag explaining after the game that he did not bring on the five-time Ballon d'Or winner "out of respect".

The Portuguese forward asked to leave United in the summer and speculation about his future has intensified with Ronaldo seemingly third-choice centre forward, but Ten Hag insists he is in good spirits.

"He's not happy that he didn't play Sunday, don't get me wrong, but the question was about his mood in training, where he's happy. Of course, he wants to play and he's p***** off when he's not playing."
