Was Erik ten Hag wrong in his attitude with Cristiano Ronaldo? Or vise versa?

    Nope Ronaldo is the problem, not Ten Hag. Look how great Man Utd is doing without Ronaldo.

    Both. Had ETH handled it slightly differently, they could have sold him to Saudi last January for 150m.

    In my opinion, no manager or club, be it Real Madrid, Man Utd, or Barcelona, should compromise on the demands of any individual.

    Half the comments here talk about Ronaldo not fitting the system or having a big ego which may be true but I distinctly remember that Ronaldo pretty much dragged that team to a Top-4 finish, was their highest goal scorer as well.

    The whole rift with Ronaldo started when the team wasn’t winning and the English media, in typical fashion, found someone on the team to blame. For weeks the media went on about Ronaldo not doing enough or any running or defensive work - something that was never part of his playing style for almost a decade since he left United the first time.

    If the media didn’t crucify Ronaldo, I reckon ETH would have found other solutions to resolve the issue, instead he bent to the will of the media. I’ve followed some of ETH’s interviews this season after losses and I can tell he buckles under media pressure saying things like “we played well” after a loss.

    Ronaldo’s attitude may have been wrong but ETH handled the entre situation incredibly poor.

      wtf are you talking about, the rift started when CR began throwing on-field tantrums for being substituted. How exactly did the media cause that?
