Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag didn’t hold back when addressing Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent criticism, dismissing the star’s remarks by pointing out his distance from the club. 🚨 "He’s far away in Saudi Arabia, far away from Manchester," Ten Hag said, responding to Ronaldo’s podcast comments about the team’s rebuild.
The drama unfolded after Ronaldo, speaking on Rio Ferdinand’s podcast, urged United to adopt a winning mindset. "You have to try," the Portuguese icon insisted, questioning Ten Hag’s leadership. But the Dutch coach shot back, highlighting Ronaldo’s detachment from the club’s current challenges. 💥
United’s rocky start to the 2024-25 season—two losses in three games—has piled pressure on Ten Hag. Despite securing a contract extension until 2026 and public backing from club executives, rumors of his potential exit are swirling. 📉
Ten Hag, however, remains unfazed. "We’re in a transition period," he stressed, emphasizing youth development and injury recoveries. "We have to win every game… the team knows this." 🔥
Will Ten Hag’s strategy silence critics? Or is this another chapter in United’s turbulent season? 🤔⚡
