CR7 and Ralf Ragnick during their time together at Manchester United
Former Manchester United manager, Ralf Ragnick has finally broken his silence and has responded to the cold-hearted interview given by Cristiano Ronaldo. The veteran striker took shots at various parties inside the club including Ralf Ragnick, Erik Ten Hag, and the Glazers.
Cristiano Ronaldo told Piers Morgan in an interview; “This guy is not even a coach. A big club like Manchester United bringing in a sport directive surprised not only me but all (the) world.”
The Austrian national team manager responded to these comments very politely in the media before his team’s pre-match conference. He added, “I’m the boss of Austria’s national team, it’s not my job to judge that. (It’s) the job of Manchester United and sports journalists.”
The Austrian midfielder Xaver Schlager defended his boss as he added’ “Everyone knows how much influence (Ragnick) had in Austria, at RB Leipzig, and also in Salzburg. He is a very great professional who has also changed football a bit.” The player had nothing but praise for his coach.
Ronaldo also criticized the Manchester United owners and other former teammates who had been talking trash about him in the media. The striker had a lot to talk about as he addressed various issues that were dismantling the club.
