Cristiano Ronaldo and several of his teammates left Old Trafford before the end of the weekend’s training match.
Now, new Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag is furious.
– It’s not acceptable, he told Viaplay.
Premier LeagueThe season will start soon and for… Manchester United Now waiting for a fresh start. Eric ten Hag has left Ajax to take over the English big club, and the hope is that the 52-year-old can lift the team from sixth place last year in the table.
But the reinforcements before the opening match against Brighton could have been better. With only a few days left until Sunday’s game, Ten Hag came out and condemned the actions of several of his players.
During this weekend’s training match against Rayo Vallecano (1-1), several players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, left Old Trafford before the match ended.
Coach marks
The Portuguese striker missed large parts of the pre-season. In an interview with the Dutch Viaplay One reporter asked Tin Hag how he should act when “Ronaldo comes and goes as he pleases”.
Absent due to personal reasons. It’s not what you described, says Ten Hag.
After being substituted in the first half, Ronaldo reportedly went home.
Many players left the arena early. It is unacceptable and applies to everyone. I told them we are a team and that means you will stay until the match is over, as the United coach said.
Earlier in the summer, Ronaldo was rumored to be leaving United. Clubs such as Chelsea, Napoli and Sporting have reported interest in the Portuguese.
