In a message to Erik ten Hag, the manager of Man Utd, Cristiano Ronaldo's sister says "it's too late."
Since Erik ten Hag took over as manager of Manchester United, forward Cristiano Ronaldo has had difficulty getting into games, and the veteran's sister has delivered a warning to the Dutchman.
After the Manchester United boss replaced the Portuguese international on Sunday, Cristiano Ronaldo's sister expressed her thoughts on Erik ten Hag.
Ronaldo, who led the league in scoring last season, has only scored once in the Premier League so far this year and was ineffective against Newcastle United at Old Trafford. In a goalless tie, he witnessed a goal against the Magpies chalked off, and United's players came under fire for their response to referee Craig Pawson's ruling.
Ronaldo seemed disgruntled to be taken off the field on Sunday after playing the entire 90 minutes just once in the league this year, in Brentford's 4-0 loss in August. Ten Hag has yet to have him start consecutive Premier League games, which has raised concerns about the former Ajax boss from a variety of angles.
After the game, Elma Aveiro, the sister of Ronaldo, retweeted a post from the Portuguese-language account "Futebol Divertido" in which it was stated that "Ten Hag won't last until January" if the current trend continues. It's too late, she captioned the photo.
Meanwhile, pundit Danny Murphy has urged Ten Hag to meet with Ronaldo for a showdown.
The veteran forward had seemed poised to quit Old Trafford before Ten Hag took over his first competitive match in August, but he ended up finishing in 20th position in the final Ballon d'Or vote with 24 goals in all competitions.
He deserves that respect from any manager, so I believe the manager should speak with him before every game," Murphy stated on talkSPORT. "Look, give me everything. You're probably going to come off after 70 minutes, but I don't want the histrionics when you come off. Does me no favors," you say in the talk.
After coming off the bench to score in a victory against Everton in United's previous game, Ten Hag gave Ronaldo a start. However,
"If Rashy had scored the goal, we would have done everything correctly, in my opinion. The performance was strong; we kept the score clean, applied good pressure, maintained control, and at times, particularly in the second half, were adept with the ball." Finally, we controlled the game and should have been able to score the victor. Marcus Rashford had to score after Fred's goal. In the end, we had a chance to win and deserved to."
