ERIK TEN WITCH said today that Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo “it’s a thing of the past“, regarding his split from the club at the start of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
“He’s gone and is already a thing of the past. Now let’s look ahead. we look to the future“Ten Hag expressed in a video released by the Manchester city club.
“You need the right personalities in the locker room, no longer to win a game, but to win trophies“, added the United manager.
Ronaldo and Manchester United have decided to terminate the contract, after the historic Portuguese goalscorer’s criticisms of the institution, encouraged by differences with Ten Hag, who relegated him from the starting team.
The Portuguese champion denounced acts of indiscipline, such as when he retired to the locker room, alone, before the end of the Premier League match against Tottenham.
“I like honest people who respect my morals. What has happened in the last couple of months has not been respect, in many ways. I’m sorry I left Tottenham before the end“Ronaldo told journalist Piers Morgan at the time in an interview about that fact and his distance from Ten Hag.
