'He knew the consequences' - Erik ten Hag hits back at Cristiano Ronaldo over Manchester United exit
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has accused Cristiano Ronaldo of double-crossing him by engineering his departure from the club and claimed the Portuguese was not in "good shape".
"I think the club can only be successful when all the decision-makers in the club are on one page and they back each other. That is the only way the club can be successful and operate. "In the summer, we had one talk. He came in and said ‘I will tell you in seven days if I want to stay’. Then he came back and said ‘I want to stay’. Until that moment , I never heard anything.
United confirmed Ronaldo's departure by mutual consent on November 22, nine days after it emerged he had conducted an unauthorised interview with Morgan. "Once again, for me, he did what he did. It is the past. I don’t spend energy. We go forward and we prepare. So when [the World Cup participants] return, we still have games to play in the first half of the season. We want to make a success of this season, so we focus on that.
