Cristiano Ronaldo must accept that he is no longer the same undroppable he was last season, but with no chance of a move until January at the earliest, he must bite his tongue for the time being and focus on club commitments before a chance of escapism with Portugal at the World Cup.
The dilemma for Erik ten Hag now is whether he should bring the Portuguese striker back into the squad, and possibly even the starting line-up, for the game against FC Sheriff tomorrow night.
Ronaldo’s reintegration into United training on Tuesday was granted on the condition that he accept responsibility for his actions, and now that he is allowed to train with the first team, surely the precedent is set for him to play with them as well.
