Cristiano Ronaldo spoke about his time at Manchester United and how Erik ten Hag managed the group. With a certain resentment.
After revealing himself and shining in the colours of Manchester United under the leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson, Cristiano Ronaldo flew to Real Madrid then Juventus, before returning a few years later to Old Trafford. A return that did not go as planned for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, disappointed with what he found there and who did not appreciate coach Erik ten Hag. He returned to the subject.
In an interview with his former teammate’s podcast, “Rio Ferdinand Presents”, the Portuguese player shared some of his truths about the current coach of the Red Devils. ” As I told you, Manchester has to rebuild everything in my opinion. (…) The coach says they can’t compete to win the Premier League and the Champions League. As a Manchester United coach, you can’t say you’re not going to fight to win (these two competitions). »
Van Nistelrooy to the rescue
And CR7 continued: “ To himself he must say:
‘Well, maybe we don’t have that potential, but I can’t say that. We’ll try. We have to try.'” Now, Cristiano Ronaldo will hope Erik ten Hag will benefit from the experience and knowledge of another former United player, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who joined the coaching staff this summer.
” If Ten Hag listens to Ruud, maybe he can (help himself). I think he can help a lot because he knows the club and the club should listen to the guys who were there. (…) I think Ruud will help because he was part of the club, he knows the fans. If the coach listens to him, I think they can improve the club a little bit. “The message got through.
