From Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo has not failed to speak his mind. In the summer of 2022, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner left Manchester United, a year after making his big comeback at the club that revealed him to the world. The adventure turned sour for “CR7” in the north of England. While he had signed for two years, the Portuguese left the Mancunian club at the start of his second season in the Premier League. Often put on the substitutes’ bench by his coach Erik ten Hag, Cristiano Ronaldo cracked in November 2022 and emptied his bag during a explosive interview with British journalist Piers Morgan : “I have no respect for Erik ten Hag because he shows no respect to me“, the Funchal native had notably launched.”If you don’t have respect for me, I will never have respect for you.“
Cristiano Ronaldo still has a grudge against Erik ten Hag
Two years later, Cristiano Ronaldo still seems to be after Erik ten Hag, who is still in his role at Manchester United. In an interview with Rio Ferdinand’s podcastwith whom he played for six years within the “Red Devils”, the Portuguese added another layer on the management that he considers poor of the Dutch technician: “The coach says the club can’t fight to win the Premier League and the Champions League. As a Manchester United coach you can’t say that. You can think it, but you can’t say that. We will try, we have to try.“
