Erik ten Hag has said Cristiano Ronaldo will get enough opportunities at Manchester United this season to match his goalscoring feats from last year.
Ronaldo scored 24 goals in all competitions last season but has managed just three in 13 appearances this term.

But after scoring in the 3-0 win over FC Sheriff on Thursday, Ten Hag has backed the 37-year-old to pass the 20-goal mark before the end of the campaign.
“I think it’s possible,” Ten Hag said.
“It’s up to him, but I think when you collect all the chances he creates, the team creates for him in the last weeks, you see he’s still capable of getting in the right positions and he’s still capable of finishing them.”
Ronaldo will have to wait to see if he is picked to start against West Ham United in the Premier League on Sunday.
