- Ronaldo did not start against Southampton
- Ten Hag unsure if Ronaldo will stay
- Portuguese yet to find willing suitor
WHAT HAPPENED? Cristiano Ronaldo once again started from the bench on Saturday as Manchester United registered a 1-0 win over Southampton in the Premier League - with Bruno Fernandes scoring the only goal of the game.
WHAT THEY SAID: When asked post-match if the 37-year-old had played his last match for the Red Devils, Ten Hag told reporters: "I can't say that. We plan with him. We stick to the plan, we want him to stay. That is what I want."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Since the beginning of the transfer window, Ronaldo made it clear that he wants to leave Manchester United as he wants to play in the Champions League. He joined the club's pre-season late and has started in only one out of the first four Premier League matches.
