Erik ten Hag has delivered a cool response to Cristiano Ronaldos ongoing move to Barcelona. The Norwegian has been working hard to bring back the spirit of the dressing room at Manchester United, and was interested in coaching the Real Madrid star before the club-rocking revelation. Ten Hag has been pleased with the way senior players have embraced his new coaching methods.
Erik ten Hag says he doesn’t care about Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence from pre-season training
The Argentine defender has brushed aside the raging debate about Ronaldo’s future. The Portuguese star has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford. And he’s not the only player to be under the microscope. United have also been troubled by the culture at the club. In recent years, many senior players have expressed their frustrations, and Ten Hag appears to be no different.
The Portuguese has yet to report for pre-season training, and Ten Hag has backed his team despite the ominous situation surrounding his future. Ronaldo is a crucial part of the team and remains important to Ten Hag’s plans, but he has missed out on top-striker Darwin Nunez and has committed his budget to other areas of the squad. United are concentrating on signing Ajax winger Antony, but have also been linked with Frenkie de Jong.
However, the new manager is determined to build the team around the Portugal international. The Portuguese has been linked with moves to Chelsea and Bayern Munich. His agent has reportedly asked Man Utd to accept a bid and may also strip Harry Maguire of his captaincy. But Ten Hag doesn’t mind and is confident the club can compete without him.
The Portuguese superstar’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain, but the club are defiant that he’ll stay to the end of his contract. However, the Argentine international’s current form has seen him miss pre-season training with the club and he could opt to leave for one of his top rivals.
The Portuguese forward has been missing pre-season training and is yet to report back to Old Trafford. He’s not suited to the intense pace of pre-season training and has asked to leave the club. Cristiano Ronaldo has been out of training for a month, and hasn’t been contacted for comment. The Portuguese hasn’t responded to ten Hag’s comments, but said he looks forward to working with him.
The Portuguese international has been reportedly linked with a move to Chelsea or Napoli, as United have lacked the transfer activity that would have allowed him to join a top-four club. The club’s manager Thomas Tuchel has said that Ronaldo’s absence from pre-season training will not deter his pursuit of a move to a Champions League side.
He expects him to return
Former Real Madrid midfielder Erik ten Hag believes Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to return to Manchester United after his loan spell. Although he doesn’t think Ronaldo will be the first signing of the summer, the Norwegian is ready to build the team around the Portuguese striker, despite the player’s recent struggles with injury and personal issues. While he doesn’t know for certain when the Portuguese forward will return, Ten Hag believes he can adapt to the new pressing style and is confident of his team’s progress.
The new Manchester United manager insists that the Portuguese hasn’t changed since his summer break, despite the fact he hasn’t returned to training. The Portuguese was a major absentee at the club’s pre-season tour after citing personal reasons for wanting to leave the club. He wants to play at the highest level for the remaining years of his career. The Portuguese has been linked with virtually every Premier League club, but has refused to report for training.
The Portuguese superstar has been keen to leave Manchester United because of his age and luxury status. Ten Hag plans to replace him with a new attacking focus. However, the Portuguese has been unhappy with the new management team and will be unable to bring in the kind of results that the club need. A new attacking focal point is a must. If United are to improve their chances of winning the Premier League, Ronaldo will have to be able to play at his best.
After being denied permission to join the tour of Thailand, the Portuguese forward has had to deal with a family issue. Ten Hag is unsure when he will return but does not rule out the possibility of the Portugal international starting the first game against Brighton. Cristiano Ronaldo’s absence has been a cause for concern. The Portuguese striker scored 24 goals last season, but remained the subject of the debate over how to press a team. However, despite his ‘personal’ issues, the Dutchman has no concerns over the Portuguese striker’s ability to press.
If the Portuguese superstar decides to return to Manchester United, the club will likely give the player an extension to his contract. United have three friendly games left before the Premier League season starts. However, the former Juventus midfielder will be rested for most of those games and will only play in the latter half of the season. If he decides to stay, the Portuguese could stay for the whole season.
He says he is prepared to sanction a season-long mortgage transfer for him
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Erik ten Hag says he is prepared “to sanction a season-long mortgage transfer for Christiano Ronaldo.” The Portuguese international has been linked with a move to Old Trafford, while the Dutch side are keen to keep their superstar at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag says the team are desperate to sign a top player, but the club must first find a replacement.
Although the club’s public stance has been to insist that Ronaldo live up to his contract, the management of the club has clearly realized that it is difficult to maintain a player who is unhappy. In order to avoid any further acrimony within the dressing room, ten Hag has been working hard to create a better atmosphere. After last season, there were plenty of clashes, disagreements and cliques, but he’s been able to persuade senior stars to buy into his philosophy.
Despite the potential financial benefits of signing a season-long mortgage transfer for Cristian Rooney, he has been working to restore harmony in the dressing room. Former Real Madrid manager Domenico Tedesco was eager to return to United after a lengthy absence. The former Real Madrid boss has been working to dismantle the negative cliques in the United dressing room. He has also been delighted with the senior players’ buy-in to his ways.
The Portuguese international has reportedly been tipped as the next man to join Manchester United. A season-long mortgage transfer is one of the most unlikely scenarios, but ten Hag is willing to give it a try. However, United aren’t the only ones with ambition. While the club’s current squad is already incredibly strong, they are also short of funds.
While Erik ten Hag hasn’t ruled out a summer move for Ronaldo, he is open to offers for the midfielder, with Inter reportedly open to taking him on a season-long loan. The incoming Manchester United manager has also scouted Flamengo’s Joao Gomes. Flamengo officials pointed out that Andreas Pereira was the star player at the club. Unlikely to happen, but if this happens, it could mean a new role for Dumfries in Erik ten Hag’s United regime.
He is also keen on signing Robert Lewandowski if his dream move to Barcelona doesn’t work out
Manchester United have been heavily linked with the signing of Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong. It’s thought that a deal worth up to PS75 million could be struck if the Dutchman were to move to the Premier League. But if Lewandowski does not get his dream move, then United could also be interested in signing him instead.
Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann has questioned the business of Barcelona this summer after the club announced a PS39m deal for the Polish international. The Spanish giants have also signed Raphinha from Leeds. But despite this, Barcelona are still battling with debts after failing to clear the vast majority of their outstanding payments. Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest have made a bid for free agent Jesse Lingard. The former Manchester United striker is considering his options after his contract expired in the summer.
If the dream move to Barcelona does not materialise, Chelsea could be tempted to pursue Lewandowski. The Bundesliga’s top scorer last season was Raphinha, and the Red Devils were set to make a move for him. But this doesn’t mean that the Blues are planning on signing a striker this summer. Tuchel has already stated that it is not a priority, but a deal is always preferable to no deal at all.
If his dream move to Barcelona doesn’t pan out, the new manager at Tottenham, Erik ten Hag, has been enthused by the Dutch midfielder. It is likely that the Portuguese national team will pursue the deal, but the Italian side will not want to sell the prized asset to a lower bidder.
Despite the fact that Tottenham and Real Madrid are keen on the Bayern Munich striker, the Dutch club are holding firm in their targets. Erik ten Hag is clear on his philosophy when it comes to player recruitment, and his involvement with ETH is a good indication of the extent to which United will do to keep their players, even if that means signing someone he can call his own.
