Ronaldo is currently not with the United side on their pre-season tour. He’s yet to return to training resulting from personal problems.
Ten Hag added: “He just isn’t with us and that’s resulting from personal issues. But we’re planning with Cristiano for this season, in order that’s it and I’m looking forward to working with him.
“I spoke with him before this issue got here up. I had a very good conversation with him, but that can stay between me and him. But Cristiano just isn’t on the market.”
United start their Premier League season in three weeks’ time against Brighton, not knowing whether Ronaldo will still be on the club. Ten Hag accomplished his third signing as manager on Sunday, getting a deal for Lisandro Martinez over the road.
Martinez adds to the arrivals of Dutch left-back Tyrell Malacia and free agent signing Christian Eriksen. Frenkie de Jong stays a goal however the player just isn’t keen on leaving Barcelona.
