Incoming Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is confident working successfully with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Speaking to Trouw the day after being announced as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's permanent replacement, ten Hag has vowed to challenge those who are not deemed to be pulling their weight, regardless of their name and status.

Asked if he could cope with Ronaldo and other stars at United, departing Ajax coach Ten Hag said: "I think I can, but I will stay myself in that.

"I won't change my vision. I will tell them their task and whoever does not meet those tasks will hear that from me, no matter who it is."

Ten Hag insists having a say in what transfer business United do is essential.

"I make demands in advance before I arrive. If the club doesn't grant them I won't take the job," Ten Hag added.

"I am the one responsible, I am the one who will get judged by results. I don't want to be a ruler, I will work together, but having a say in transfers is a condition for me."
