Erik Ten Hag has spoken about the “hottest point” at Manchester United recently, which has to do with Cristiano Ronaldo.
The footballer’s departure from “Old Trafford” was the product of many disagreements reported in the media between him and the Dutch technician,
The player was constantly left on the bench and this irritated him a lot, as the climax of all this was reached when the five-time “Golden Ball” winner left for the locker room before the game was over.
Despite this, the Red Devils coach says he wanted Ronaldo to stay.
“I wanted him to stay from the beginning, until now. He wanted to leave, but he didn’t say anything to me before the interview,” Ten Hag initially emphasized.
“In the summer, Ronaldo told me: I will tell in seven days if I will stay or not. In the end, he decided to stay,” he concluded.
The Dutchman spoke for the first time about this issue since Ronaldo’s interview with Piers Morgan.
