Ronaldo Slams Ten Hag: "You Can’t Say You’re Not Going to Fight to Win the Premier League or Champions League"
Cristiano Ronaldo has once again taken aim at his former Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, in a new interview. The Portuguese superstar, who now plays for Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, had a very public spat with Ten Hag before leaving Old Trafford.
In a chat with Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo was quoted by Fabrizio Romano as saying that Ten Hag’s attitude is not suitable for a manager of a big club like Manchester United. "You can’t say that you’re not going to fight to win the Premier League or Champions League," Ronaldo said. "You’ve got to say like, ‘Maybe we’re not the best team, but we’re going to try.’ You’ve got to try!"
Ronaldo’s comments come as a surprise, given that he was once a key player under Ten Hag’s predecessor, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. However, his relationship with Ten Hag deteriorated during his second spell at Old Trafford, with the manager seemingly looking to build a team that didn’t fit Ronaldo’s style of play.
It’s worth noting that Ronaldo remains one of the finest finishers in the game, and one has to wonder if Ten Hag could have done more to fit him into his plans. Nonetheless, the Dutch tactician has been under pressure for some time, with barely any sign of improvement despite winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup finals.
As the debate surrounding Ten Hag’s future continues to rage on, Ronaldo’s comments are sure to add fuel to the fire. What do you think, folks? Should Ten Hag be given more time to turn things around, or is it time for a change?
