Cristiano Ronaldo slams Man U coach Erik ten Hag over attitude

Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo has knocked Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag for his attitude since taking over the club.

Speaking on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, the Al-Nassr star again hit out at Ten Hag over his conduct as United boss.

‘As I told you, Manchester, they need to rebuild everything, in my opinion,’ he said

‘The coach, they say they cannot compete to win the League and Champions League. 

‘(As) Manchester United coach, you cannot say that you’re not going to fight to win the League or Champions League. 

‘You have to be, to mentally say, listen, maybe we don’t have that potential, but I cannot say that. We’re going to try. You have to try.’

Ronaldo felt that the appointment of the Dutchman was a step in the right direction, but he still lashed out at Ten Hag in the process.

‘If Ten Hag listens to Ruud, maybe he can (help himself),’ he explained. ‘I think it can help a lot because he knows the club and the club should listen (to) the guys who were there. 

‘You [Rio] or Roy Keane or Paul Scholes or Gary Neville, whatever, Sir Alex Ferguson. You cannot, you cannot rebuild a club without knowledge. Not guys who work in the office. They understand. 

‘The people who understand the football, it was, 99 per cent is the people who were there in the dressing room. They know how to deal with the players. It’s the people who understand these things. 

‘So I believe that Ruud is going to help because he was inside the club. He knows the club. He knows the fans. If the coach listens to him, I think they can improve a little bit the club.’

Since Ten Hag took over, United have finished third and eighth in the Premier League. They have also won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in that time.

Ronaldo, who is a legend at Old Trafford scored 145 goals in 326 appearances across two spells, he also won nine trophies with the club.

However, his second stint ended in acrimony after a falling-out with Ten Hag, with Ronaldo subsequently terminating his contract, before he attacked the Dutchman and said he felt ‘betrayed’ by him.
