Ten Hag Criticizes Ronaldo's Commitment at Manchester United

Erik Ten Hag, the former manager of Manchester United, revealed his disappointment with Cristiano Ronaldo during their time together at the club. In an interview with The Athletic, Ten Hag accused Ronaldo of letting down both the team and himself, stating that they had planned together before his arrival at Manchester United.

Ronaldo rejoined the club from Juventus in August 2021 but fell out with Ten Hag by November 2022, culminating in an interview with Piers Morgan where Ronaldo criticized the club and Ten Hag, leading to the termination of his contract. Ten Hag alleged that Ronaldo struggled with fitness, often pulling out of training sessions and advising teammates to "save your legs." He emphasized that while Ronaldo is one of the best in football history, he failed to prepare himself adequately for the demands of the team, which ultimately affected his performance and the team's dynamics.
