Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag had no interest in discussing Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr.
Having held out for a transfer to a Champions League club, Ronaldo conceded defeat in his quest to continue playing high-level football by signing a two-and-a-half year contract with Al Nassr, the only club to make an offer for Ronaldo in the summer.
Ronaldo's agent Jorge Mendes was unable to persuade Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Napoli or AC Milan to bid for the 37-year-old, who scored three goals in 16 games for United this season.
Ten Hag disciplined Ronaldo for leaving early after playing the first-half of a friendly with Rayo Vallecano at Old Trafford in July and refusing to come on in the 2-0 win over Tottenham in October.
Ronaldo secured a divorce from United by arranging an unauthorised chat with Talk TV where he said he had "no respect" for Ten Hag. United have won all three matches since Ronaldo left the club on November 22.
"I don't talk about the past, let's talk about the future," Ten Hag said after the 1-0 victory over Wolves. "We made a good step today.
"We have to win games, it's the first time we are in the top four but it means nothing because there is a long way to go, many games are coming up, we have to live from game to game, we have to win every game.
"So collect the three points, get in a position and you can win something this season. That is what we are aiming for but it demands hard work from everyone and, of course, a good plan."

Playing as the substitution part ๐๐คฃ๐. Just admit you got personal agenda with Ronaldo ๐. Just tell us how many times, he destroyed your team๐. Your love towards your club and favourite player is fas less than your hate and jealousy towards Ronaldo ๐. SAD bro

Then buy him and make him play all the positions for your team... While you do that, try to answer why no UCL team worth its name tried to sign the free agent while he offered himself all over from summer till now!!

Yes you're right. Cristiano Ronaldo plays as the goalkeeper, left back, left centre back, right centre back, right back, defensive midfielder, holding midfielder, attacking midfielder, right winger, left winger and central striker all by himself. And to top it all, he is also managing the team by himself [Crylaugh]

What are you saying. He plays the ball alone or with his team mate on the advice from the coach. You guys are afraid to speak the truth or fact. why? He is a good player but right must be done and a such united is winning games
