👀 Football fans, brace yourselves! Manchester United's manager, Erik ten Hag, has fired back at club legend Cristiano Ronaldo after some spicy comments from the Portuguese star. 🌶️
In a recent podcast with United icon Rio Ferdinand, Ronaldo didn't hold back. He suggested that Manchester United \"rebuild everything\" and took a jab at Ten Hag for lacking ambition. \"Manchester United coach, you cannot say that you're not going to fight to win the League or Champions League,\" Ronaldo declared. \"You have to try. You have to be mentally strong.\"
Ten Hag wasn't about to let that slide! 😤 Responding to Ronaldo's remarks, the Dutch manager said, \"He said that Manchester United can't win the Premier League. He is far away in Saudi, far away from Manchester, so everyone can have an opinion. It's okay.\"
🔥 The drama doesn't stop there! With United losing two of their first three Premier League games this season, rumors are swirling about Ten Hag's future at the club. 🤔 Despite signing a contract extension until 2026 and support from club CEO Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth, the pressure is mounting.
But Ten Hag remains cool as ice. 🧊 \"It doesn't impact me,\" he stated. \"We're in a transition period, integrating a lot of young players into the team. We have to bring the injuries back into the team. Before anyone thinks about excuses, we have to win every game. The team knows this. We will focus on every game and have the mindset we have to win.\"
What do you think? Is this just a bump in the road for United, or is there more to the story? Let us know! 💭⚽
