MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo is back in contention for Manchester United after talks with manager Erik ten Hag.

Ronaldo was punished for refusing to come on as a substitute in last week’s 2-0 win over Tottenham. That raised fresh doubts about his future at United. But Ten Hag said Wednesday that the issue has now been resolved after talking to the forward. The Dutchman said Ronaldo “will be in the squad” tomorrow.
