Sancho set for crisis talks with Ten Hag over Man United career
FootballArturo Vidal Insults ten Hag Over Al Nassr Star Ronaldo’s Exit at Man Utd
- Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United in January after his contract was ripped up
- He endured a frustrating first half of the season under Erik ten Hag before his departure
- Arturo Vidal is not a fan of the Dutch boss and laid into him viciously over the incident
Erik ten Hag would not like Arturo Vidal's comment about him too much, especially as it body shames him and criticises his stewardship at Manchester United since he took over last season.
Ten Hag left Ajax and took over at Manchester United last season after they had a poor year, which saw the departures of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick.
One of the earlier challenges that faced the Dutch manager was handling Cristiano Ronaldo. Their relationship never got on a good start, and Ronaldo's contract was terminated after an explosive interview.
The Portuguese headed out of Europe and joined Al-Nassr. As reported by 90 min, he has become a point of reference for the mass exodus of stars into the Saudi Pro League, including Karim Benzema and Neymar.
Vidal insults ten Hag
Winning the Carabao Cup and qualifying for the Champions League spared United's blushes over their treatment of Ronaldo, but a poor start this season has brought the reality back.
Former Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal is the latest to question the former Ajax boss over Ronaldo. The Chilean, speaking on his Twitch stream as quoted by SportBible, insulted ten Hag.
“That coach came in badly. How are you going to take out Cristiano Ronaldo? That’s how these guys are. He was the top scorer, and he takes him out,” he said.
“These bald guys are very complicated,” he brutally added.
Ronaldo was not the only top star eliminated at Old Trafford. Long-serving goalkeeper, David de Gea was also shown the way out he spent 12 years at the club, and was replaced by Andre Onana.
