Was Erik ten Hag wrong in his attitude with Cristiano Ronaldo? Or vise versa?

    Worst manager they had in 4 decades I’ve been watching United, egotistical, rigid, poor spending, poor tactics, none of the experienced players rate him, it’s that obvious

    Nope. No player is above the badge, even Ronaldo. The club had been letting players run it since SAF left and that was part of the problem.

    I love to meme on United with the best of them, but ETH was absolutely correct in binning Ronaldo. A fine player on his day, but a massive diva with an unbridled ego.

    The problem was more that the season before United had many players with more than 10 goals, then Ronaldo arrived and he was the only one scoring. Yea sure he scored many important goals but hampered other players from scoring. All focus of attack was him and nobody else so United were very limited and relying on him. Of course he is a brilliant player but not the player he was 10 years ago, which you could rely on for goals almost every game

    The fit wasn’t good for the two of them. However, Ronaldo bailed him out of a lot of different games in UCL that year and he deserves some credit for that. Ten Hag didn’t want to adapt his tactics to match Ronaldo’s playstyle (Apparently he does that now with his current lineup), and Ronaldo wanted to play. It’s best for both that they moved on. Ronaldo would have been much better suited to play for City that year in the Haaland role

      It was Ole that got bailed out by Ronaldo in the UCL, we were already in the Europa league for Ten Hag’s first season (in which, I should add, Ronaldo consistently played like shit)

    Ronaldo was finished and was only bought for the commercial business. This club should have never bought him back. Any big club wouldn’t have. When Madrid let their players go, they don’t look back. Kinda sums up the state of the club. I’m glad ten hag got him out. A few more dead wood to go.

    Ronaldo wanted control. He had that with Ole, he has it in abundance now with Al Nassr.

    He expected to have absolutely everything go his way and Ten Hag came in and didn’t care about his previous accomplishments and who he was and they butted heads and he just started acting too entitled!

    Ronaldo is known for throwing his achievements around at clubs in order to get charges made that best suit HIM. Along the way and along his path (albeit successful) … He lost the ability to be humble and to accept authority.

    Ten Hag was never ever going to accept Ronaldo attempts to try and take over in training , in the dressing room and even from the bench. … We all Saw Ronaldo’s behaviour and even HE wasn’t winning fans over .

    It doesn’t seem like Ten Hag really had any other choice than to remove him from the equation…

    It was the RIGHT decision.

    ALOT of fans lost respect for Ronaldo after his return. It was not the dream we had all hoped for and the ONLY reason for that was …. Ronaldo had turned into a really unsavoury human being that none of us even recognised anymore.
