Christian Eriksen has admitted he is “sad” Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer part of the squad at Manchester United but insists it’s time to move on following the striker’s departure.
Ronaldo agreed a mutual termination of his contract at Old Trafford during the World Cup to end his second spell at the club six months before the end of his contract.

“We are sad that Ronaldo is not part of it,” Eriksen said. “His legacy and his name at any club is special, for me to be fortunate to play with him in my career was very nice. The football goes on.
“You feel that the next game after, people will forget what it was like before and now our focus is really like he is not here.”
In Ronaldo’s absence, United have restarted their domestic campaign with back-to-back wins over Burnley and Nottingham Forest.
