Cristiano Ronaldo’s attitude as he left the pitch and went to the dressing rooms with Tottenham minutes before the end of the game, annoyed by the substitute’s condition, divides opinion between commentators and former Manchester United players. There are people who think that the Portuguese is not respected by coach Erik ten Hag, others find the gesture to leave before the end of the match reprehensible.
“What’s the reason for? [Ten Hag] not let him out if he knew he wasn’t in the plans? For me this is the strangest part. When you look at someone who has done so much in his career and at this level, the coach should definitely know before the season if he can count on him. This will happen until the day Ronaldo leaves Manchester United precisely because he is the superstar and icon that he is.”
Patrice Evra, who also coincided with Ronaldo in the red devils, says the Dutch coach has no respect for the Portuguese. “I put him on at the beginning. After the game against Manchester City, Ten Hag said that he didn’t put Ronaldo to play out of respect for his character. If he respected his character, I would definitely use him in every game.” , the Frenchman pointed out in statements to Amazon Prime.
Peter Schmeichel, former Danish Red Devils goalkeeper, admitted to being disappointed with CR7. “Going out like that creates everything we don’t want right now. He knew he would be in the headlines. It’s the first time I can say I’m disappointed in him. I usually support him and understand the situation. great player. Should we play him or let him go? I don’t know. We don’t need such distractions and this is a disappointment,” he told the BBC.
Thierry Henry, a former French international, sided with the coach. “Ten Hag has to be for the team, not for Ronaldo. Cristiano is part of the team and a solution has to be found. There are times when you have to play without him, but the hard part is that people will always talk about him There aren’t many people who can sit at the same table as Ronaldo for what he’s already accomplished, but here’s what he’s done [pelo clube]which is not what it has done before,” he said.
At the end of the game with Tottenham, which United won 2-0, the coach said he would not deal with Ronaldo until the next day. The Portuguese player was spotted entering the club’s training center in the morning, but it is not known if he has spoken to the coach about the subject. One thing is correct. Even because it’s not the first tantrum, CR7 has an increasingly difficult life at Old Trafford.
