Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has addressed recent remarks made by Cristiano Ronaldo regarding the club’s Premier League prospects. Ronaldo, currently playing in Saudi Arabia, suggested that Manchester United lacks the capability to win the league.
Ten Hag responded by stating, “He said that Man United can’t win the Premier League. He said this, if you read the article very well.” He further commented on Ronaldo’s distance from the club, both geographically and contextually, saying, “Ronaldo is far away in Saudi, far away from Manchester. Everyone can have an opinion. It’s okay!”
This exchange follows a series of critical statements from Ronaldo, including a suggestion that Ten Hag should seek advice from former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy and criticism of Ten Hag’s ambition. Despite these comments, Manchester United’s CEO recently reaffirmed support for Ten Hag, who remains confident in the club’s trophy ambitions.
