Cristiano Ronaldo has declared himself ready to start for Manchester United today.

United entertain Brighton at Old Trafford in Erik ten Hag's first competitive game in charge.

It is unclear if Ronaldo, 37, will be selected with his future up in the air.

But, that hasn't deterred the five-time Ballon d'Or winner from declaring he is fit for purpose.

Ronaldo took to Instagram this morning and shared a story of an image of himself with the words 'Ready' emblazoned on it.

The Mirror says Ronnie has been “flying" in training sessions this week having only returned from holiday 10 days ago.

Despite wanting to leave, the veteran remains eager to play as many minutes as possible ahead of the World Cup.

And Ronaldo has informed Ten Hag he is ready to play tomorrow.
