Former Manchester United champions Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney are clear in their conversation: Let Cristiano Ronaldo (37) go. The first is harsh with the behavior of the Portuguese.
Earlier this summer, The Times wrote that Ronaldo wants to leave the Red Devils. Since then, there has been endless speculation about the Portuguese’s future, but the 37-year-old is still expected to be part of the squad when Manchester United face Brighton on Sunday afternoon.
Or as coach Eric Ten Hag said at Friday’s press conference: “Wait and watch on Sunday” and described the Portuguese as the great striker, before singing to the journalist who asked the question:
– There are a lot of players who left the field early and focus only on Cristiano – that’s not true. Do your research.
Then the question is how many other matches Ronaldo has. Old scorer Wayne Rooney, his former Manchester United team-mate, writes in his column times Eric ten Hag to give up Ronaldo.
“They should get a number nine that will be there for the next three or four years who can help build a team that can achieve success. Tin Hg has had the time to do that,” Rooney wrote.
And former Manchester United captain Gary Neville believes the old club should close Ronaldo’s chapter. He is disappointed with Ronaldo’s behavior and points out the lack of clarity.
“It is distasteful to me as a former Manchester United captain to see the star player in the dressing room at the moment making a fuss,” Neville said in a broadcast on Sky Sports.overlap».
On Friday Night Football, he also criticized the Portuguese for not showing openness about his future plans and instead placing the onus on Ten Hag during press conferences.
This summer, Ronaldo was not part of Manchester United’s friendlies in Asia and Australia – and in the friendly (against Rayo Vallecano) he played – he was one of many United players to leave the field before the end of the match. match.
It made Director Eric Ten Hag angry, He described this as unacceptable in an interview with Viaplay.

Evind Berenhoved Holth, a journalist for the Scandinavian Manchester United fan club, told VG he thinks the question is where Ronaldo should go.
– For now, it makes sense for all sides that Ronaldo stays and he can certainly score twenty goals for the Hague’s ten, even if he’s not one hundred percent motivated, says Brianhofd-Holth.
Ten Hag has previously stated that Ronaldo is not up for sale, but Berenhoven-Holth still believes a sale of the Dutch star is not entirely ruled out.
NRK football writer Thore Haugstad also believes United’s board should get rid of Cristiano Ronaldo.
– It’s a big problem that I think they didn’t handle well. I think it’s a little strange that they say they want to keep it, says Haugstad, that they don’t even want to leave the door open.
– The council tends to let these epics go on for a long time, and this applies to buying and selling. These soap operas feature the club and prevent coaches from getting the team early in the season, continues Haugstad and points out epic stories with Paul Pogba, Jadon Sancho and Frenkie de Jong.
