Erik ten Hag Reveals Reasons for Ronaldo Fallout at United
Erik ten Hag spoke publicly for the first time about the breakdown of his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo during their time at Manchester United. He stated that Ronaldo let both him and the team down.
Ronaldo rejoined Manchester United in 2021 from Juventus, while ten Hag took charge in 2022. Their partnership deteriorated quickly, culminating in Ronaldo's interview with Piers Morgan and his subsequent exit from the club.
Ten Hag mentioned that he made efforts to establish a working relationship with Ronaldo, even traveling to Portugal to share his vision for the club. However, he criticized Ronaldo's training approach, suggesting that the five-time winner was not meeting the expected standards and was negatively influencing younger players.
Following ten Hag's departure from Manchester United, he was replaced by Ruben Amorim, and Michael Carrick is currently in charge. Ten Hag briefly returned to management in 2025 but was dismissed after two league games and now serves as sporting director at FC Twente.
