Cristiano Ronaldo sits on the bench too much. So that his ability becomes dull and less honed. but if Cristiano Ronaldo was given more chances then I think he could be even better. the same as in yesterday's match, Cristiano Ronaldo looked less confident throughout the match. his face was full of stress. but after he managed to pass the ball to Martial and managed to score. only then can I see Cristiano Ronaldo become more active in his movements. but unfortunately time remaining in the match is only a little. I hope Ten Hag should be able to give equal opportunities to all players, including Cristiano Ronaldo.
Interestingly, for example, Scholes considers the provision of playing time for Ronaldo in the Europa League to be disrespectful on the part of Ten Hag:
He said on BT Sport: "I think it is almost more disrespectful playing him on a Thursday night in the Europa League. This man is a world superstar.
I am not saying at 37 years of age he should be starting the games, the big games especially, but this is a competition that is hard to get yourself motivated for."https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20029884/paul-scholes-slams-erik-ten-hag-cristiano-ronaldo/I tend to trust his opinion. The Europa League is a junk tournament for any big team and the game there is very different from the serious games in the Premier League, even against weak teams.
And by the way, I'm sure Ten Hag won't back down from his strategy of ignoring Ronaldo - even United's crappy results bother Ten Hag less than fighting Ronaldo for influence at the club. And it seems to me that both will leave United - Ronaldo on their own initiative, and Ten Hag will be fired.
