This is Why Cristiano Ronaldo Wanted to Leave - English Commentary
"Cristiano Ronaldo was the problem at Man United?"
Well, my friends, things are getting worse for United, and the question is: "Was it Cristiano Ronaldo's fault?" Let's talk about Manchester United, specifically under Ten Hag, facing a severe crisis, right? They're not doing well in the Premier League, got eliminated in the Champions League at the bottom of the group, and won't even make it to the Europa League. It was a zero-margin-for-error group; on the day of the draw, everyone knew there wasn't much room for mistakes, especially with Bayern being the strong favorite.
United was a strong candidate for the second spot but ended up in the middle, having a terrible first phase. They have the worst defense in the history of English clubs in the Champions League, conceding 15 goals in the first phase, finishing as the leakiest defense alongside Celtic. Then, of course, many people start recalling the conflict between Ten Hag and Cristiano Ronaldo, which led to Ronaldo leaving Manchester United. Cristiano went to Arabia, scoring 50 goals this year and doing well.
Let's remember, last season, United returned to the Champions League, finished third in the Premier League, and won the League Cup. So, yes, Ten Hag's work was good at that time. When Ten Hag arrived, his goal was to get Manchester back on track, and he succeeded. The arrival of Casemiro had an immediate positive impact, and he revived some players like Rashford and Bruno Fernandes. Regarding Cristiano Ronaldo, it's clear that the blame wasn't on him. Initially, when he returned, he did his part excellently in the Champions League. But there was a turnaround; the Manchester board realized they needed a clear change in playing style and brought in Ten Hag, who tried to make adjustments. One of those adjustments was benching Cristiano Ronaldo, and I understand it's not ideal for such a big player to be on the bench, believing he still has much to offer.
In the end, it worked out well for Ronaldo; he left, earned a lot in Arabia, and became an ambassador. He's doing great, scoring many goals, and his team is competitive. He's experiencing something different now. The spotlight is back on Cristiano Ronaldo, and he left United. He's happy in Arabia, and United, in reality, achieved their goals at that time. They won the Cup and finished third in the Premier League, behind Arsenal and Manchester City. They're performing better than many competitive teams, including Liverpool, which has been stronger than Manchester United recently. They're back in the Champions League. So, the goal was achieved. Ten Hag's initial work showed results, but the continuity didn't happen, and the team regressed.
Now, they have a leaky defense, almost 40 goals conceded this season, a lot of losses (12 so far), and they lack a consistent pattern. In these moments, Cristiano Ronaldo would have been the guy. There's been a lot said about what Cristiano was going through during his time at United, a difficult period outside of football. Surely, Cristiano in 2023 would have been a powerhouse for Manchester United. It's unfortunate that, unfortunately, the club's management did what they did. Now, they see their club sinking and being eliminated once again from the Champions League.
