Erik ten Hag: I don’t care what Ronaldo has to say about me

Erik ten Hag has brushed off Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest criticism of him by insisting: “He’s far away from Manchester.” Ronaldo reignited his feud with Ten Hag by saying the Manchester United manager sent out the wrong message by claiming, in an interview during the summer, that the club were a “long way” from being able to win the Premier League and Champions League. The former United striker – who has been playing for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League since leaving in late 2022 – also cast doubt himself on United’s ability to win the league, claiming it would be “difficult”. But Ten Hag gave short shrift to Ronaldo’s comments when quizzed on the subject ahead of United’s game at Southampton tomorrow and implied he was not too concerned about the opinions of a player 3,200 miles away in Sa...

But he said in July his team are a "long way away" from being ready to win the Premier League, which they have not won since Alex Ferguson's final season in char...
