Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has accused club manager Erik ten Hag of “disrespecting” Cristiano Ronaldo.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!This came after the seasoned forward was changed during United’s match against Newcastle United on Sunday.
At Old Trafford, Ronaldo started in front of the defense for the Red Devils. With 18 minutes remaining, the Portuguese forward was replaced by Marcus Rashford.
As he exited the field, he was cursing and shaking his head angrily. Saha questioned ten Hag’s choice to bring in a proven goal scorer, saying there is no one better than him when you are under pressure to score.
There is “no evidence” that the former Real Madrid player is slowing down, according to Saha, who is confident he has not suffered in any way.
As stated by Saha to Boyle Sports, “Ronaldo has been disrespected.”
“I haven’t entirely concurred with Ten Hag’s administration.
“I can see why Ronaldo was furious after the Newcastle match because he believes in his ability to score, but recently he has not been as fortunate and effective. It happens, and people need to understand that he is not a machine.
There is no one better than him when you are under pressure to score big goals; he did it last year and there is no reason for him not to repeat that this season. Ronaldo is a killer when people are fatigued.
“I have not observed any physical signs that indicate he is slowing down.”
