English club Manchester United head coach Eric Ten Hag has said that Portuguese veteran forward Cristiano Ronaldo is in his plans.

While Portuguese forward Ronaldo is rumored to be leaving the club, coach Hag has said he has no plans to sell him. Ronaldo is not on a pre-season tour of United. Ronaldo's departure from United's tour of Thailand sparked speculation that he would leave the club.

"He is not in our pre-season squad due to family and personal problems. We are planning with Cristiano Ronaldo this season. That’s right, ’said head coach Ten Hague,‘ I’m looking forward to working with him. Ronaldo is not for sale. He is in our plan. We want success together. '

Ronaldo is doing personal training in Portugal. According to the club, Ronaldo will join the training camp as United prepare to leave for Australia after the tour of Thailand. Ronaldo, who is aiming to play in the Champions League, has been rumored to be planning to leave United recently. With one year left on his contract, he has already asked permission to leave the club.

He has been linked with Premier League club Chelsea and German club Bayern Munich. Bayern have said Ronaldo is not in their plans. Meanwhile, United are planning to keep Ronaldo at the club.

The 37-year-old forward, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, returned to United last season after playing for Spanish club Real Madrid and Italian club Juventus. Although Ronaldo became United's top scorer last season, his side did not qualify for the Champions League.

Similarly, coach Ten Hag has said that Harry Maguire will be the captain of the team. "Harry will be the captain of the team. He has been the captain for more than a year. He has achieved a lot of success. I have no doubt about that, "he added.

United have signed fullback Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord this summer. He plans to sign Christian Eriksen as a free agent.

He added, "We want to add the right players. We have a really good team. We are in training to develop our way of playing. There is an opportunity, we will do better. '
