T.the relationship between Erik Ten Hag y Cristiano Ronaldo remains tense, but Manchester United the boss apologized for his reaction to the replacement over the weekend.
With the team unable to break the tie at home Newcastle On Sunday, the Dutch coach decided to send Ronaldo off in the 70th minute, something the Portuguese star clearly disagreed with.
Ronaldo was visibly unhappy when he came out and didn’t hide his frustrations. However, Ten Hag dismissed the incident as natural when he spoke at the press conference ahead of Wednesday’s game against spurs.
“Nobody is happy when they take them off, especially Ronaldo, and I understand that,” said Ten Hag.
“As long as it’s in a fairly normal way, I don’t have a problem with that.
“Yes, sure, you have to convince me why you should stay.”
