Erik Ten Hag took over and showed he’s in charge and that was what was needed at that time. The iron hands of the boss was what the team needed. Though we can’t blame Ronaldo for the bad performance of the team as he proved to be helpful on so many occasions even before the arrival of Ten Hag. His interview was the line drawer for him and that made Hag lose hope and every confidence and trust in him and if you look at the interview and what’s going on now, then you’ll see some sort of truth in what he spoke about then.
Well though the board to an extent were wrong in bringing him back and trying to build the team around him rather they would have brought him back amd make him come in from the bench that way it would have been more honorable and get match winning victory than the humiliation he was put through. Ronaldo is still an integral part of the club’s success and history and he’s still loyal to the cluv and vice versa though things went wrong but I think it could have been better if a different approach was followed.
Jesus Christ! Cristiano Ronaldo had negative impact's? Lol. But mind you, Ronaldo returned back to Manchester United before Erik Ten Hag was appointed head coach.
He was brought in during the second or third season of Ole Gunner Solskjaer and it was clear evidence that Ole Gunner Solskjaer was tactically poor and not good enough. What manager are you when you cannot manage the big players and mix them up with the yougins?
He shouldn't have returned in the first place, but that was done all because Sir Alex Ferguson called him directly. Yeah, Ronaldo gave Manchester United winners against Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham United scoring Hat tricks against these clubs.
My issue with him was failing to report to the Pre season games and fixtures, that was what got Erik Ten Hag pissed. The season started and he dropped out Ronaldo on the bench for so long. Nothing wrong with him returning, these past legends and current players just fought hard to see him leave. Both Roy Keane and Rio Ferdinand backed him. Also mosteof tjese young lads weren't creative enough.
