Erik ten Hag has described a difficult period working with Cristiano Ronaldo during the forward's second spell at Manchester United. The coach noted that the player pulled out of training sessions and failed to reach the expected heart rate levels.
Preparation and Team Role
Ten Hag explained that he traveled to Portugal to discuss expectations before starting at the club in 2022. He stressed that Ronaldo was unable to press effectively or run with intensity in or out of possession due to inadequate preparation.
Later Developments
Ten Hag served until 2024 before his departure from the club. Ronaldo was later suspended for 30 days and fined €255 by the Portuguese federation following his walkout from the national team. The forward has indicated he remains available for future call-ups.
