Manchester United returned to play in the UEFA Europa League. This time against Sheriff. The most notable news was the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to the Manchester United starting lineup, especially since the Portuguese striker had been punished by the Red Devils' Dutch manager, Erik ten Hag.

Cristiano Ronaldo was punished by the Manchester United coaching staff because in their Premier League match against Tottenham the 37-year-old striker decided to leave his team before the match was over. Ronaldo refused to play and even walked off the bench before the game was over.

This attitude did not please Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag at all. He decided to ground him by making the legendary Portuguese striker train alone and dropped him from the match against Chelsea. However, he gave him another chance, and this time in the UEFA Europa League match against Sheriff.

A goal cannot save Cristiano Ronaldo

Despite scoring once in a 3-0 victory against Sheriff in the UEFA Europa League, Cristiano Ronaldo should not rest easy. The reality is that his level has dropped compared to the few occasions that Erik ten Hag has allowed him to play for Manchester United. If Cristiano wants to continue playing he will have to show that he is a better option than his rivals, Rashford and Martial.
