Ronaldo has started just once in the Premier League this season and cut a frustrated figure on the pitch in Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Omonia on Thursday night.
His only goal this season has come in the Europa League and Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial’s form means that he is third choice centre-forward option in the squad.
There are suggestions Ronaldo could look to depart Manchester United in January after failing to find a way out of the club in the summer transfer window.
But it has been claimed that Ten Hag would not be too keen to let him leave Manchester United in January.
The new Manchester United boss was heavily backed in the market and spent more than £220m in the summer.
Ten Hag is aware that he is unlikely to get any money to spend until the end of the ongoing season.
The Manchester United boss is not sure that he will get funds to replace Ronaldo in January if he leaves.
And for the moment, Ronaldo is struggling to attract any offers from clubs in the Champions League.
