'He has got his head on': Gary Neville insists Cristiano Ronaldo looks happier at Man United after wanting to leave this summer... and urges the star forward to stay in January and help his side qualify for the Champions League

Gary Neville has pinpointed a recent change in Cristiano Ronaldo's demeanour at Manchester United after wanting to leave this summer.

The star forward announced his desire to quit Old Trafford this summer due to the club failing to qualify for the Champions League this season and has often cut a frustrated figure on the sidelines, with a bit-part role under new boss Erik ten Hag.

But Neville told The Mirror that Ronaldo seems happier at United, having potentially accepted he will not start every game now, and urged him to stay in January and help his side finish in the top four.
