Erik ten Hag has defended himself against remarks from Cristiano Ronaldo, saying the Portuguese made similar comments himself
In a pre-season interview Ten Hag discussed United’s chances of winning the Premier League and Champions League. “We are really a long way away from that,” he told the Dutch outlet AD Sportwereld.coach, you cannot say that you’re not going to fight to win the league or Champions League.” But Ronaldo then effectively contradicted himself. “They can win the Carabao – Champions League or Europa League or Premier League, difficult,” he said.
Ten Hag was asked about Ronaldo’s claim that United’s manager should not say the club cannot win the league. “No, he said this, if you read the article very well,” he said. “He is far away in the Saudi , so everyone can have an opinion and is entitled to have an opinion. It is OK.” Ronaldo’s comments come after he left United in November 2022 after twice walking out on Ten Hag’s team at Old Trafford during a pre-season friendly with Rayo Vallecano and in the Premier League meeting with Tottenham.“We have to win all of our games,” he said. “We will see where we are in May. It is very early in the season and it is about winning trophies, being as high as possible in the league.
“It doesn’t impact me – I know in the process where we are. We have to integrate a lot of young players in the team. We still have to deal with injuries and bring players back into the team. Before anyone thinks about excuses: no, we have to win every game.”Ten Hag is missing Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Rasmus Højlund, Tyrell Malacia and Victor Lindelöf because of injuries.
