Cristiano Ronaldo is "completely dedicated" to the project that Erik ten Hag is constructing at Manchester United, according to Erik ten Hag, who also believes that the striker is starting to gel with ten Hag's playing style.

Ronaldo's preseason was hampered, and he only played for a total of 45 minutes before the start of the regular season. As a result, he hasn't appeared to be in particularly good shape so far this year.

The 37-year-old sought for a transfer throughout the summer and also missed a significant portion of pre-season for personal reasons; nevertheless, having remained at Old Trafford, he is now gradually finding his feet under Ten Hag's tutelage.

He started a game for the second time in a row against Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova, and he finally scored his first goal of the season by converting a penalty kick toward the conclusion of the first half.

Ten Hag is witnessing commitment from his forward Ronaldo as well as improvements in his link-up with his teammates. Ronaldo appeared to be more involved and joyfully celebrated his goal.

He stated, "He also has connections that are coming around him and he is developing relationships so I'm thrilled with that." "He is absolutely devoted to this endeavor, totally committed to this team, totally invested," he said.
