Ralf Rangnick discusses Cristiano Ronaldo’s future as he didn’t fail to rule out the chances of the club signing new striker for next season.
Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick believes Cristiano Ronaldo chance of staying at United depends on the player and also the incoming manager.
The Portuguese has been in fine form recently and also scored to secure a point for Manchester United last night against Chelsea.
There are rumours that the player will not have the chance under the new manager Erik Ten Hag while some believes he will want to leave due to Champions League football.
When asked directly about the no.7’s future, Ralf replied: “This is something that we should speak about between Erik and the board and myself. Cristiano has another year of contract.
“It is also important to find out what he wants, if he wants to stay.”
In a separate interview with Sky Sports, he stressed: “In the end, it’s both Erik’s and also Cris’s decision what they want to do. It is not for me to speak about that but, today, the performance of Cris was really great.”
The team now rely on Ronaldo to score goals as eight of their last nine goals has been scored by the Portugal captain but Rangnick believes they have to bring fresh attackers into the team.
“Right now, we very much rely on Cristiano, he also showed a good performance when Chelsea were in possession. But there has to be a focus on bringing in a couple of new strikers for sure.”
Ronaldo show great character against Chelsea last night and he received praise from the German for his effort.
“[It was] not only the goal that he scored today, also his whole performance, his attitude. How often he helped in our own half. At the age of 37, a player like him, this is not normal to do that. He showed that today and if he plays like he did today he can still be a great help for this team.”
