The front of Manchester Utd, Cristiano Ronaldoregretted the very little Premier League game against him Tottenham Hotspur last month and added that his decision to go to the locker room was because he felt “provoked” by the coach Erik Tenhag.
Last month, Ten Hag claimed that Ronaldo refused to come on as a substitute in a 2-0 home win against Spurs before heading into the tunnel with a minute left in the game. Ronaldo was left out of the squad to face the ‘red devils’ against Chelsea the following Saturday.
A few weeks before the Spurs game, Ronaldo was left on the bench for United’s defeat at Manchester City, and Ten Hag said he chose not to bring the Portuguese striker on in a 6-3 thrashing by I respect your career.
“You didn’t put me on against Manchester City out of respect for my career and you want to put me on for three minutes against Tottenham? It doesn’t make sense,” Ronaldo told Piers Morgan in an interview on TalkTV, the second part of which was aired on Thursday. .
“I think he meant it. I felt provoked not only in that game, but before. He didn’t respect me as I deserved. But it is what it is. That’s probably why I left the game against Tottenham .”
“I’ll be honest with you, it’s something I regret, leaving the stadium. A coach who put me three minutes into a game is not allowed for me. I’m sorry, I’m not that kind of player. I know what I can give teams.”
United said on Monday it would address Ronaldo’s comments that he felt betrayed by the club and was only sacked after all the facts had been established.
