If Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t think his reputation at Manchester United has been tarnished, he’d better think again. Despite countless successes during a total of 7 and a half years at Old Trafford, the striker has been fiercely criticized by a series of Red Devils fans on social networks.
However, of all the criticisms made in the interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo only aimed at the individuals, who he thought had made United worse, the thing that hurt him the most. CR7 himself has never hated the club, and Man United also shows that there is no love lost between the two sides when they sent an 81-word goodbye message to the 37-year-old superstar the day he met Burnley.
Ronaldo is a free agent after leaving MU
The Red Devils’ farewell message read: “Cristiano Ronaldo left the club by mutual agreement last month. The Portuguese superstar has scored 145 goals in 2 seasons and 436 appearances, helping us win 3 Premier League titles, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cups, Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup.”
“Ronaldo is also a 2008 Ballon d’Or winner. In a statement on November 22, the club expressed gratitude for Cristiano’s great contribution and wished him and his family well. beautiful in the future.”
A full month since he left, Man United’s words in their farewell are still warmer than the way Ten Hag reacted to the striker’s departure. The Dutch coach, whom CR7 frankly said he has no respect for, coldly said: “He’s gone and that’s the past. We’re looking forward to it now and we’re looking to the future. “
Ten Hag has immediately set plans to replace the former Real Madrid, Juventus and Sporting Lisbon killer in the next January transfer window. Recently when asked by Athletic newspaper if Man United were looking for a new striker, the Dutch strategist replied: “Yes, but only if we find the right player. We will do everything. We are studying every opportunity and we will do everything we can to sign if the opportunity arises.”
Ten Hag is focusing on life without Ronaldo.
The most likely candidate to replace Ronaldo is PSV star Cody Gakpo. Ten Hag is said to be a huge fan of the 23-year-old Netherlands international, who has scored three goals in five games at the World Cup and has also registered 13 goals and 17 assists at club level this season. Ten Hag said: “I cannot comment on specific players. I would never do that. Players have contracts and I respect that but make sure we are working. underground to get the right players.”
