Former Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has hit out at Erik ten Hag once again after their very public spat that led to the Portugal international leaving Old Trafford.
Ronaldo, who now plays for Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr, had two spells at Man Utd, but his second one did not end happily as he had his contract terminated after speaking out against Ten Hag in an infamous interview with Piers Morgan.
Now the 39-year-old has once again taken aim at Ten Hag during a chat with Rio Ferdinand, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano on X, formerly Twitter, this afternoon.
See below as Ronaldo has slammed Ten Hag as basically not being suitable for United manager due to his attitude of playing down the club’s hopes of challenging for competitions like the Premier League and the Champions League…

At the same time, though, the veteran forward remains one of the finest finishers the game has ever seen, and one has to wonder if Ten Hag could perhaps have done more to fit him into his plans.
