To be honest, Ten Hag was really lucky because he managed to win the FA Cup. I believe the FA Cup has given Ten Hag the opportunity to stay at Manchester United. In my personal opinion Ten Hag is not a good manager. He has a big ego and I still question what he did to CR7. I don't care about Sancho because I don't think his performance is that good. Ronaldo is past his prime and maybe he is not like he was in the past. But Ronaldo is one of the Manchester United players who has extraordinary leadership skills. I think even his role is very important to raise the morale of other players in some big matches.
In my opinion, Erik Ten Hag could not manage Ronaldo well. Ronaldo could act like a coach playing within the team. Moreover, I remember that period, they wrote that Manchester City wanted him very much and they were about to make an agreement. However, when the offer came from Manchester United, he followed his heart without thinking, but apparently he was wrong. It seems that listening to his heart doesn't always win him over. Manchester United lost a great idol.
