According to reports, Ronaldo’s antics have disappointed Manchester United, from the management to the players, and Ten Hag is outraged by his remarks. When he departed the club in 2009 after his first tenure, he criticised the team for not having advanced since that time and felt improvements were required.

“I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me,” Ronaldo said about Ten Hag. “If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never going to have respect for you.” He also said he felt betrayed by the club: “Yes, not only the coach, but another two or three guys around the club. I felt betrayed.”

When asked whether the club was trying to get rid of him, he said: “People should listen to the truth. Yes, I felt betrayed and I felt like some people don’t want me here, not only this year but last year too.”
