Between Cristiano Ronaldo and Erik ten Hag, the current did not pass. It was the latter who put an end to the former’s return to Manchester United. By putting him on the bench, which was also appreciated by a good part of the observers, the Dutch coach turned the Portuguese star against him, who finally packed his bags for Saudi Arabia. But the star striker of Al-Nassr does not forget his favorite club, and does not hesitate to publicly criticize Ten Hag.
The latest salvo to date is his intervention in the podcast of his former teammate Rio Ferdinand. “The manager… he says they can’t compete to win the league and the Champions League. As a manager of Manchester United, you can’t say you’re not going to compete to win the Champions League. You have to say to yourself mentally: ‘Listen, maybe we don’t have that potential, but I can’t say that. We’re going to try.’ You have to try.”thus criticized CR7.
Garnacho validates CR7’s comments
This new wave of criticism, while Manchester United started its season with two defeats and only one victory, does not help matters for Ten Hag, who is already hotly contested. And it could have other consequences. Indeed, the Argentinian winger Alejandro Garnacho, one of the rare satisfactions of the Red Devils in recent seasons, liked a post that transcribed the words of Cristiano Ronaldo, thus sharing the criticism towards his coach.
And for many fans, that could mean punishment in the coming weeks, as Erik ten Hag has proven he’s not one to let that slide. Cristiano Ronaldo has experienced it himself, and more recently, Jadon Sancho has also paid dearly for his criticism. Could Garnacho be getting a turn on the bench soon?
