Manchester United manager Eric ten Hag spoke about the interview of the forward of the Portuguese national team Cristiano Ronaldo.
I guess after the interview it became clear that he was leaving the team. There was no need to discuss. It was all clear enough. Chief Executive Officer Richard Arnold, Athletic Director John Murtaugh, i. I’ve seen the interview. Not quite, but most of it. This is my duty. When it came out, I went to Uefa at the coaching conference.
I wanted Ronaldo to stay from day one until now. However, it was clear he wanted to leave. If a player wants to leave the club, he has to. The club cannot miss such an interview. There will be consequences. He knew what would follow such a step. Before that, he had never told me that he wanted to leave.
