Cristiano Ronaldo – Man United betrayed me… I don’t have respect for Erik ten Hag… Cristiano Ronaldo has sensationally claimed that Manchester United have betrayed him and admitted that he doesn’t have any respect for manager Erik Ten Hag. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner clarified his feelings in a 90-minute interview with Piers Morgan.
Speaking about the club, Cristiano Ronaldo said that he felt let down and that some people had wanted to get rid of him ever since he returned to Old Trafford in August 2021.
‘I feel betrayed. And I felt that some people don’t want me here, not only this year but last year too,’ he said.
Fans across the World expressed different feelings on the matter… I have a few Nigerian friends who thought Portugal will win the World Cup because of these comments and were willing to put their money where their mouth is… this is what I had to say to that: Prove it! https://1xbetnigeria.ng/1xbet-app-how-to-download-the-mobile-app-in-nigeria/
The Portuguese Striker finished as United’s top scorer last season with 24 goals in all competitions, but the Red Devils only finished sixth in the Premier League. This led to a change of manager over the summer, with Ten Hag arriving on a long-term contract from Ajax.
Ronaldo and Ten Hag’s relationship has appeared strained since the start of the season after the Portuguese star told United he wanted to leave in July. Cristiano Ronaldo did not get his move and has gone on to start just four league games for the side this term.
He has openly shown his frustration at times, refusing to come on as a substitute against Tottenham last month before storming down the tunnel and leaving Old Trafford prior to the full-time whistle.
This led to him being banished from the squad for the next game against Chelsea, and despite being welcomed back into the fold since then, Ronaldo has revealed that he has no time for Ten Hag.
‘I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me,’ Ronaldo said when speaking about Ten Hag.
‘If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you.’
When Ronaldo returned to United, he initially worked under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but his former team-mate was sacked last November after a poor run of results. This led to the 13-time Premier League champions appointing an interim manager in Ralf Rangnick until the end of the season.
United’s results failed to improve under Rangnick, and Ronaldo has now questioned whether he had the credentials to manage the club in the first place after spending much of the previous decade as a sporting director.
‘If you’re not even a coach, how are you going to be the boss of Manchester United? I’d never even heard of him,’ Ronaldo added.
