Ten Hag no longer wants to see Ronaldo's face
According to ESPN Netherlands, Ten Hag had planned to go on vacation with his family earlier this week, but he had to postpone the plan to deal with troubles from Ronaldo's interview.
"Man Utd betrayed me", "Ten Hag doesn't respect me, so I don't have to respect him", "the Glazers owner doesn't care about the club" ... are details the 37-year-old striker said. with MC Piers Morgan in an interview on November 13.
According to Ten Hag, Ronaldo went too far when criticizing the team, coach and former players like that. During a meeting with team co-owner Joel Glazer, Ten Hag said that "Ronaldo has no respect for the team". And he did not want to see Ronaldo's face again. That means he will not be able to participate in first-team activities, from training to competition.
Man Utd is also looking for legal services to solve this problem. They will wait until Ronaldo's interview is fully broadcast on Wednesday night, November 16 and Thursday, November 17, before making any decisions. A British law firm said that Man Utd is looking for a basis to unilaterally terminate the contract with Ronaldo without compensation. But CR7 is said to not want to lose compensation if it has to leave before the contract term.
If Ronaldo leaves in January 2023, Man Utd will have only one true striker, Anthony Martial, not to mention the injury-sensitive French striker. The team is targeting striker Victor Osimhen, but the possibility of Napoli letting him go is small. But Ten Hag no longer wants to use Ronaldo, even if Man Utd no longer has a striker.
British newspaper Daily Mail reported that super agent Jorgen Mendes met with representatives of Bayern Munich to discuss the future of Ronaldo's client. Man Utd are also targeting 33-year-old striker who is on the way to Bayern, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. But German newspaper Bild denied that Bayern had met Mendes, and emphasized that this team did not want to recruit the 37-year-old superstar.
If he joins Bayern in January 2023, Ronaldo will reunite with Lionel Messi in the 1/8 round of the Champions League. Because Bayern will meet PSG in two matches on February 14 and March 8.
