Cristiano Ronaldo has advised Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag to consult former player Ruud van Nistelrooy for guidance. Ronaldo emphasised the importance of leveraging the experience of former club legends to rebuild the team effectively.
Ronaldo stated, “If Ten Hag listens to Ruud van Nistelrooy… maybe he can help,” highlighting Van Nistelrooy’s deep understanding of the club. He further mentioned that the club should heed the advice of other former players and staff, including Rio Ferdinand, Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, and Sir Alex Ferguson.
“You cannot, you cannot rebuild a club without knowledge,” Ronaldo asserted, stressing the necessity of incorporating insights from those who have been integral to the club’s history.
This statement follows a series of recent comments from Ronaldo criticising Ten Hag’s ambition and approach, as reported earlier today. The Manchester United CEO has recently reaffirmed support for Ten Hag, who remains confident in the club’s trophy ambitions despite ongoing criticism.
