Erik ten Hag hits back at Cristiano Ronaldo for his Manchester United 'rebuild' comments
09/12/2024 11:07 AM
Erik ten Hag has issued a defiant response to Cristiano Ronaldo after he claimed Manchester United need a rebuild.
Portuguese legend Ronaldo played for the Premier League giants across two stints, the second of which ended unceremoniously at the end of 2022.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner conducted a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan in which he criticised Ten Hag and the Glazer family.
Almost two years on from his comments, Ronaldo has now revealed his belief that United need to ‘rebuild everything’ to return to their former glory.
Ten Hag has now responded to the forward, but also wished to stress that Ronaldo’s comments were in relation to winning the Premier League.
“He said that Manchester United can’t win the Premier League. No, he said this if you read the article very well,” Ten Hag said in his press conference ahead of United’s weekend trip to Southampton, live on talkSPORT.
“He is far away in Saudi, far away from Manchester. Everyone can have and is entitled to have an opinion, it is okay.”
