Erik ten Hag on his time at Man United: Cristiano Ronaldo let the team down - ESPN
(opens the publisher’s site)Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has said Cristiano Ronaldo "let the team down" and failed to meet fitness standards in an interview with The Athletic.
- Ten Hag said Ronaldo "let the team down, and he let me down," adding that United had planned the season around him.
- Ten Hag claimed Ronaldo completed only two of three training laps after United's 4-0 loss to Brentford and did not run in or out of possession.
- Ten Hag said a top player must work for the team and that Ronaldo had told teammates to "save your legs" in training.
- Ronaldo was suspended for 30 days by the Portuguese Football Federation on Monday after walking out on the national team.
- Ronaldo avoided a longer Portugal ban after submitting his career CV and a detailed statement to the Portuguese Football Federation.
- He was fined £215 and suspended for 30 days, a term ending before Portugal's next match against Denmark on November 14.
- The suspension stemmed from his departure after being benched for the Nations League match against Norway in Oslo.
