Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has backed Cristiano Ronaldo to reach 20 goals for the club this season

Ten Hag believes Cristiano Ronaldo can get back among the goals Manchester United boss has backed Cristiano Ronaldo to hit the 20-goal milestone despite the striker struggling for form at the start of the season. The veteran striker managed 24 goals in 38 appearances across competitions last term. He was a standout performer in a season to forget for Manchester United as they finished sixth and trophyless. However, Ronaldo has been handed a bit-part role under Ten Hag this season and has faltered in front of goal. After only notching up three goals across competitions so far, Ten Hag has said it is up to the Portuguese forward to start getting back on the scoresheet. However, the Dutch coach does believe it is possible for Ronaldo to start netting once again and reach the 20-goal mark. He said (via ): “It’s up to him. But I think when you collect all the chances he creates, the team creates for him in the last weeks, you see he’s still capable of getting in the right positions and he’s still capable of finishing them. I think it’s possible, yeah.” Describe in one word Describe in one word Ronaldo has played second fiddle to Marcus Rashford, who has been in impressive form under Ten Hag. The English forward has managed seven goals in 15 appearances across competitions. However, Ten Hag has also opted to use Rashford as a left winger, which has provided Cristiano Ronaldo with the centre-forward starting berth on eight occasions.
