'Hard work ALWAYS pays off!': Cristiano Ronaldo puts in the hard yards in training with several sprinting drills as the wantaway star pushes for starting spot in Erik ten Hag's team for Man United's trip to Brentford

Wantaway Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo suggested he is fit and ready to play as he shared photos of himself in training ahead of Saturday's trip to Brentford.

In a pair of photos added to his Instagram account, Ronaldo can be seen sprinting, and juggling the ball at Carrington, as he puts speculation over his future to one side.

Captioning his image 'Hard work always pays off', Ronaldo's post received more than 4.5million likes in the first 24 hours after being posted and the big question is whether he has done enough in training this week to earn a start under Erik ten Hag.
