Cristiano Ronaldo has reignited his conflict with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag by criticizing what he sees as a lack of ambition. On a podcast with Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo challenged Ten Hag’s statement that the team is far from contending for major titles, arguing that the coach should exhibit confidence and aim for success despite the current limitations.
Ronaldo’s criticism is rooted in his past experiences at United, where his second tenure ended in 2022 following his public expressions of betrayal and disrespect towards Ten Hag. Even after leaving, Ronaldo continues to speak out about the club’s condition.
He recognized that Manchester United requires a major overhaul and praised recent improvements, including investments in infrastructure and new ownership. While he is hopeful about these changes, Ronaldo emphasized that the process of rebuilding will take time. He also suggested that Ten Hag might benefit from the insights of new coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, given his thorough understanding of the club. Despite no longer being part of United, Ronaldo’s remarks indicate his continued investment in the club’s success.
