Cristiano Ronaldo and José Mourinho have never been great friends since their time together with Real Madrid (2010-2013). And even after Special One’s departure, his relationship with the Portuguese hasn’t improved since the 59-year-old manager angered CR7 during a Champions League match.
It was during the 2017-2018 season during which José Mourinho’s Manchester United faced Cristiano Ronaldo’s Juventus who had just left Real Madrid. Housed in the same group (H), it was the Red Devils who were the first to welcome the Bianconeri on the 3rd day at Old Trafford. And the companions of CR7 won (0-1) thanks to Paulo Dybala’s goal.
In the second leg in Turin, Manchester United turned the tide by winning (1-2) despite a goal from Ronaldo. A result that pleased Mourinho, who did not fail to entertain the Juventus fans with a hand to his ear as he walked around the stadium. A gesture that did not please Leonardo Bonucci with which he will have a fight before separating them. But it is not only the Italian defender who does not appreciate what the “Mou” did. Cristiano Ronaldo too.
Mourinho “doesn’t have the class to coach MU” according to Ronaldo
After Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United last season, a source close to the board said ESPN that the fivefold Ballon d’Or did not appreciate Mourinho’s provocation at all. We had just beaten Juve with two goals in the final and Jose Mourinho, the then coach, entered the field and started taunting the Juventus fans by listening to the noises. [du Stade] “a source inside the American media said.
“Many players were angry with [Mourinho] because it seemed he summed up the victory to himself rather than the team and Cristiano was furious with him too, continues the same source. He passed by and said: ” [Mourinho] he doesn’t have the class to coach Manchester United. “
“Nous avons toujours su que Ronaldo aimait son temps à Old Trafford, mais je pense que ce que les gens en dehors du club n’apprécient pas, c’est à quel point il se soucie toujours, et toujours, de ce qui se passe here “concluded this source.
