Former manager claims club broke promises made to him
Erik ten Hag has claimed Cristiano Ronaldo “let the team down” during their time together at Manchester United. Ten Hag has also alleged that promises made by United’s owners went unfulfilled, leading to his sacking by the club in October 2024.
Ronaldo returned for a second spell at United in August 2021 and was already at the club when Ten Hag was appointed in April 2022 as Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s successor. The relationship between the pair quickly broke down, however, with Ronaldo refusing to come on as a substitute in a win against Tottenham in October 2022 before he then publicly criticised the club in a TV interview. The forward’s contract was mutually terminated the following month.
