Manchester United, Erik ten Hag is reportedly worried that Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro are “not on his side,” according to Tim Sherwood.
Ronaldo has only made one Premier League start under the Dutchman, and after a disheartening night against the Cypriot outfit Omonia, he will still be hoping to get his first second goal of the season soon so that he can achieve his 700 goals target.
When the 37-year-old tried to leave Old Trafford in the summer, many top teams were not interested in hiring him. The “stubborn” tactics of ten Hag are reported to have “dismayed” Ronaldo, and it is expected that he will again seek a departure in January.
Last Sunday, Ronaldo watched from the sidelines as Manchester City beat United 6-3. Later, Ten Hag said he hadn’t brought him ‘out of respect for his professional standing.
The manager had to make a difficult decision by benching Ronaldo in English Premier League games, but I believe he made the correct option, says Sherwood
To reach 700, he needs one more goal. He doesn’t care when it comes, since it will soon. But he needs the game time to do it.
Ten Hag bench Cristiano Ronaldo once again over Europa league disappointing performance against Omonia Nicosia.
