Portugal National Team manager Fernando Santos said, “Ronaldo’s situation at Manchester United? If you told me two months ago, when Ronaldo wasn’t playing, there was a moment when I was worried, but now he talked to the coach, he played in the Europa League and the Premier League. Now it’s different.”

It is not a secret that Ronaldo had been in very off form this season with Manchester United and he had also not received much playing time. He was not at all consistent in the starting lineup and Santos himself raises disappointment regarding the same, but he believes that the issues ate very much figured out now.

The tensions between Ronaldo and the Manchester United head coach Erik Ten Hag had also reached its peak when Ronaldo had walked out of the Old Trafford stadium before the final whistle was blown in the game against Tottenham Hotspurs. But everything seems better now for Fernando Santos as well.
