Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been left “furious” and “disappointed” by Cristiano Ronaldo following his explosive interview.
Ronaldo – in an interview with Piers Morgan – heavily criticised many aspects of the Premier League club.
From saying he didn’t “respect” Ten Hag to that nothing has changed with the infrastructure since the beginning of his first spell at the club nearly two decades ago, the legendary striker went nuclear.
After failing to get a move in the summer transfer window, this is clearly Ronaldo’s final attempt to find a new club.
Speaking on The United Stand, renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano discussed the situation.
Romano has said it is very telling that Ronaldo has been so vocal at this stage of the season, while he is still contracted to the Red Devils.
The Italian has revealed that Ten Hag is “absolutely furious” and that there appeared to be some respect between the manager and Ronaldo prior to his astonishing outburst.
“It is really strong to see something like that during the season,” Romano said.
“The reaction internally at Manchester United… yes, with Erik ten Hag, I am told he is absolutely furious and also a bit disappointed, because during the summer he was trying to keep the situation quiet around Cristiano Ronaldo.
“He knew the situation was not easy.
“In training, in the day-by-day at Manchester United, Cristiano had always been quiet and respectful.
“Of course, he was not happy. He is not happy about the situation, he is not happy about being on the bench. But there was, sort of, respect between Ten Hag and Ronaldo.
“The manager always tried to be respectful with him, also after the difficult situation with the Tottenham game.
“So, they always tried to keep the situation quiet.
“This interview is not something Erik ten Hag was expecting. He knew Cristiano was not happy, but Ten Hag was not expecting those kind of words, and the same for [other] people in the club.
“Lots of people in the club, in the board, are absolutely not happy at all with this interview.
“Now, Manchester United are looking for the best way to answer.
“I expect Man United to go with a strong position, it is also about protecting the squad, protecting the manager, and protecting the whole project.”
