Cristiano Ronaldo remains "totally committed" to the Manchester United project, manager Erik ten Hag said after the veteran forward scored a penalty in a 2-0 win at Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League on Thursday.

The 37-year-old Portuguese, in his second spell at Old Trafford, had begun to look surplus to requirements and a move away in the transfer window looked likely.

But the Portuguese, handed a starting spot in Moldova after being restricted to the bench in the Premier League, struck a first-half spot kick to register his 699th club goal.

Ronaldo's first goal of the season sealed a Group E win that was essential after United had lost their opening game at home to Spaniards Real Sociedad.
