Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag did not address Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure during the World Cup. He insists that the Portuguese has unilaterally chosen to leave the club after a high-stakes interview.
The page on Cristiano Ronaldo has always been turning in the mind of Eric ten Hag. The Manchester United coach was not really affected by the absence of the Portuguese star to resume the English Premier League on Tuesday before the big victory over Nottingham Forest (3-0). Asked about the Viaplay platform before the meeting, the Dutch technician credited the Portuguese with this option to end his adventure in the north of England after his intense encounter in early November.
He chose to say goodbye, he was no longer part of the team.
“The team was focused on winning back the Premier League. All I see is a starving team,” Ten Hag said. After relaunching the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo could influence that ambition, the former Ajax technician swept the idea. “I don’t look back, only to the future,” he insisted. “He chose to say goodbye, he was no longer part of the team.”
Faithful sayings to those recently delivered to the club’s media. “He’s gone and that’s in the past,” he recently told MUTV. “We’re now looking ahead and looking to the future.”
Manchester United formalized the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo on November 22, terminating the contract with immediate effect. A logical decision after the five-pointed Ballon d’Or speech against the club, Ten Hag in an interview with English journalist Piers Morgan.
CR7, who were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the World Cup with Portugal against Morocco, are now free to join the club of their choice. He could join the Saudi club Al-Nasr, where an exciting contract (200 million euros per season) awaits him. His signing was announced as imminent for several days by several media outlets. It’s not official yet.
