After being confined to a supporting role by the former Ajax manager, Ronaldo eventually lost it and lashed out against Ten Hag and those at the club in an unscheduled interview with Piers Morgan.
Excellent Man Utd Exactly what went wrong at a difficult point in the career of the all-time great has been revealed by Gary Neville.
Al-Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo: Scores, Assists, Results, and Schedule
In my opinion, he accomplished his goals admirably. He does not accept second parts because of his mentality and character, Neville told Marca.
I criticized him because, in my view, there are different ways of instructing, mentoring, and coaching the younger members of the team who are not at your level when you are a leader in the locker room and in international football.
I believe Cristiano ought to have tweaked and adjusted his leadership approach at United to the players who required coaching, instruction, and leveling up in the locker room.
Why Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United failed
Although Ronaldo is currently scoring prolifically for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, Neville claims that he found it difficult to accept playing among less talented teammates for a Man Utd team that was not competitive.
Neville continued, “Cristiano grew upset with them, he got impatient with them, and that was sometimes evident throughout the games. Ultimately, it turned into a kind of confrontation.
He has an amazing level and works just as hard as any other player I have ever played with;
He wants to win, he wants to score goals, he wants to be the best player in the world, therefore I believe it has been challenging for him. This may be because he finished his career with clubs who lacked the caliber he had experienced in the past.
During his second stint at Manchester United, Ronaldo scored 19 Premier League goals in 40 games.
