Manchester United head coach Erik ten Heg spoke about the decision to suspend Cristiano Ronaldo from the team after his scandalous interview with The Sun.
"I had my reasons. They were obvious, and I was also aware of the possible consequences. It could have had a negative outcome. In football, it is always possible. But I wasn't worried. I also slept well, even during those nights.
I have to make decisions about the development of the club and the team. It's my job and it's my responsibility. I have to face the consequences and impact of my decisions not only in the short term, but also in the long term. I remember that during that period we had 10 days to think about which choice would be the best. You always have to think strategically," Goal quoted ten Hag as saying.
It will be recalled that Ronaldo left United in November 2022 after an interview with Piers Morgan, in which the Portuguese criticized the club. Subsequently, Cristiano became a player of Al Nasr from Saudi Arabia.
