Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said Cristiano Ronaldo could yet extend his contract at the club. The new United boss has ruled out Ronaldo leaving this summer despite suggestions the striker wants to depart Old Trafford to continue playing in the Champions League. Ten Hag said he is planning to have the 37-year-old in his squad next season. When asked whether he could stay at the club beyond that, the United boss said it is a possibility -- particularly because he is under pressure to deliver immediate success. "I am well informed he also has an option [to extend his contract until 2024] no?" Ten Hag said. "Of course I have signed here for three years, but in football it Is short-term as well. We have to win from the start. So I dont look that far ahead. I have a strategy, it is a process, it takes time, but in the end we have to make sure from the outset there is a winning team." Ronaldo is not training with Ten Hag and the team in Melbourne after being given permission to miss the tour of Thailand and Australia while he deals with a family issue.
