Cristiano Ronaldo has reignited tensions with Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag, offering pointed advice on the club’s rebuilding efforts.
In a recent statement, Ronaldo criticized Ten Hag’s remarks that United were still “a long way” from winning the Premier League or Champions League, asserting that such a message sends the wrong signal.
Instead, Ronaldo believes that the club should approach every season with the mentality of striving for top honors, regardless of current limitations.
Ronaldo also emphasized the importance of taking guidance from Ruud van Nistelrooy, United’s newly appointed assistant manager, who could play a crucial role in the team’s revival.
According to Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy’s deep connection with the club and understanding of its culture make him an invaluable resource that Ten Hag should listen to closely.
The Portuguese star also suggested that other United legends like Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, and Gary Neville should have a more prominent voice in shaping the club’s future.
In his critique, Ronaldo stressed the need for a complete rebuild of Manchester United, starting from the ground up.
He noted that the club’s return to success would require more than just talented players—it would need a unified approach involving all facets of the organization, from management to coaching staff.
He remains hopeful that with the right changes, United can reclaim its status as one of the best clubs in the world.
