After another 1-0 win over Southampton, Manchester United manager Erik ten Haag continues to insist that he expects Cristiano Ronaldo to stay at Manchester United this season and stated that he would be happy even if the club did not bring in a striker before Thursday's transfer deadline.
United secured their second straight win in the Premier League for the first time since February when Bruno Fernandes scored in the 55th minute.
The one who again entered as a substitute similar to the victory over Liverpool last Monday was Cristiano Ronaldo who entered the field in the 68th minute.
The Portuguese is eager to leave United for the Champions League playing club as his name has been linked to Napoli and Milan in recent days.
However, his coach, as mentioned, reiterated that in his opinion Ronaldo will eventually stay at Old Trafford.
"He's in our plans," said Tan Haah, "so we want him to stay. That's what we want."
United are expected to sign at least one player before the window closes as talks with Ajax about the transfer of the Brazilian winger - Anthony - continue.
The Dutch refused an offer of 90 million euros offered by United but it seems that in the last few days there will be developments after Anthony was interviewed and said that he is disappointed that Ajax does not let him advance.

In the meantime, this morning it was published in the media in England that the person who blocked Ronaldo's move to Chelsea about a month ago was United's coach last season - Ralph Rangnik - who advised Blues coach Thomas Tuchel not to add the 37-year-old striker.
