I Need A New Striker, I Can't Wait For Ronaldo To Return - Erik Ten Hag Cries Out To Manutd Board
Ronaldo has yet to report for pre-season training after requesting to leave Old Trafford and been granted compassionate leave for a family matter.
Ten Hag is now linked with a £68 million raid on his old club Ajax for winger Antony, and one of the Brazilian's representatives, Junior Pedroso, is said to have been in Manchester for negotiations on Thursday.
'It's the same as last week,' Ten Hag said when questioned about Ronaldo's position and whether he is afraid that the Portugal star is running out of time to recover.
Asked about the importance of signing another forward, Ten Hag said: ‘I think it’s vital if you want to get success, the season is really long.
'That is a reason, but also the number of games. You need more options in offence. But we also have still time to fill that in.
We signed (Christian) Eriksen for the midfield, we are really happy with that. I am really happy with the performance of the midfield and offence at this moment.
‘But I also know this season, a lot of games, World Cup, so we need more options.
'We have a good team, we need a good squad to get the right results at the end of the season.’
United have been using Anthony Martial on tour in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Mason Greenwood. They have scored 11 goals in the wins over Liverpool, Melbourne, and Crystal Palace.
