Cristiano Ronaldo says he's looking forward to working with new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.

He wished the former Ajax boss well ahead of his tenure at Old Trafford but warned fans they must give Ten Hag time to implement changes.

Ronaldo said: "I know he [Ten Hag] did a fantastic job for Ajax and that he's an experienced coach. But we need to give him time and things need to change - the way he wants.

"I hope we have success of course. Because if you have success, all of Manchester are going to have success as well.

"So I wish him the best. We are happy and excited - not only the players but the supporters as well.

"I wish him the best and let's hope that next year we're going to win trophies."

Ronaldo says he's ready to help United's next generation as he believes they are the future of the club.

"The new generation will be the future of the club. I'm in favour of giving opportunities to the young generation because they will be the future.

"But you have to help them as well to put it in the right spot. Because the pressure is a lot to play in the Premier League, which I believe is the most difficult league in the world by far.

"And you have to give him time. You have to give him of course the opportunity and let them grow in a normal way without pressure.

"But I think we should give opportunities to the young generation of course.

"They understand to achieve success you have to sacrifice, hard work, ethic of work, dedication.

"But of course, if the kids ask me advice, I will give my opinion and advice because I want to help."
