Erik ten Hag agreed with Cristiano Ronaldo that the standards at Manchester United had fallen sharply since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson a decade ago.
Ronaldo left United in November before completing a stunning move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. That move came after Ronaldo ended his relationship with United by mutual consent in November following a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
Ronaldo never enjoyed a run of starts under United boss Ten Hag, who swiftly established that he should not be in his strongest starting line-up. The Portuguese star’s exit interview was critical of the boss, whom he accused of “disrespecting” him.
