Well, Erik Ten Hag gave Cristiano Ronaldo the opportunity to play in today’s match when Manchester United faced Real Sociedad.

The Portuguese International needs to remain on the bench for Manchester United and let other vibrant young players get more playing time to build their careers at the club.
