The Dutchman was speaking in an interview where he was asked if he was concerned about Ronaldo's absence. Ten Hag said he is not bothered about the absence of the Portuguese.

Of course, but concerning is maybe not the right word. I focus on the players who are there, they are doing really well, I prefer to develop that. I cannot wait for him to come in, then we'll integrate him.

Ten Hag has always said that Ronaldo is part of his plan going into the new football season. However, the forward player has made it known that he wants to leave the Old Trafford club, in a quest to play UEFA Champions League football.
