After manager Erik Ten Haag benched Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Maguire, Manchester United have won three Premier League games in a row and are full of confidence heading into today’s derby against Arsenal, which kicks off at 5.30pm at Old Trafford.
Cristiano Ronaldo was on the verge of leaving the club several times this summer, with which he did not even go through the preparations, but in the end he stayed.
Under the leadership of Ten Haag, he played only one game from the first minute, in a 4-0 defeat by Brentford. The Portuguese has been on the bench ever since and as a rule enters the final phase of the games.
“I will be his friend, sometimes I will be his teacher, it depends on the situation. As we know, he was not at the preparations and the summer tour, and without preparation you cannot play. We’ll see. His minutes will depend on different situations and match demands. Of course, also from physical fitness,” said Ten Haag before the derby with Arsenal
