Previous Manchester United head coach Erik Ten Hag has actually mentioned that Cristiano Ronaldo was never ever the issue at the club, hinting that the concerns lay much deeper than the Portuguese striker, who left the club on bad terms throughout the Dutch head coach’s reign.
Ronaldo left Manchester United for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr in 2023 after having actually fallen out of favour with Ten Hag.
“For me, it is no issue; he was never ever the issue. I believe it was what occurred. It’s the past, and after that, we won 2 prizes at Manchester United. I want him all the very best for the future, and I want him the very best of luck,” stated Ten Hag.
10 Hag went on to win an FA Cup and Carabao Cup with the Red Devils before he was sacked midway through the 2024/25 season. After investing the 2nd half charging his batteries, Ten Hag landed at Bayer Leverkusen. His remarks follow after his side lost 0-2 versus Chelsea in a pre-season friendly.
2 years after leaving United, Ronaldo fired chance ats Ten Hag’s state of mind and technique and stated a Manchester United coach need to not have a mindset that the group can’t defend the league and UCL titles.
“They need to rebuild everything, in my opinion. The coach says they cannot compete to win the League and the Champions League. Manchester United coach, you cannot say that you’re not going to fight to win the League or Champions League. You have to be, to mentally say, listen, maybe we don’t have that potential, but I cannot say that. We’re going to try. You have to try,” Ronaldo informed previous colleague Rio Ferdinand in a podcast.
Ronaldo, on the other hand, is preparing for the brand-new season with a bang. He scored a hat-trick versus Liga Portugal side Rio Ave F.C. and will now deal with Al-Ittihad Club on Tuesday in the semifinal of the Saudi Super Cup.
