Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag accused Cristiano Ronaldo of betrayal and dishonesty after the star gave a scandalous interview and parted ways with the club.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Eric ten Hag (photo: telegraph.co.uk)- In the summer we talked once, and he said to me: in a week I'll tell you if I'll stay. Then he came and announced: I want to be here. Before the interview with Piers Morgan, I never heard anything else, he never said that he wanted to leave. An interview like his cannot be accepted by the club. It is clear that there will be consequences, and he knew about it. Given the situation, it was clear that he had to leave. There was no need to discuss this issue with the management at all.
I think I was open and honest with him. We talked about my vision, so now I have no problem communicating with him again. Though I don't think I have anything to say to him. After all, from the very beginning I wanted him to be with us, but he decided to leave. When a player does not want to be part of a team, he must leave. Ronaldo didn't want to be part of United's future, so we're moving on without him. He just decided to part with us. I would have preferred things to be different, but he chose a different path. I think I did everything to integrate him into the squad,” said Ten Hag, talking to reporters at the Spanish training camp for Manchester United.
