Ronaldo urges Manchester United to ‘rebuild everything from the bottom’
Al Jazeera
Former United star says manager Eric ten Hag must not be negative and say that the club can’t win the Premier League.
Cristiano Ronaldo says his former club Manchester United must rebuild everything from the bottom up if they are to compete for the top football titles again.
The 39-year-old Portugal forward won three Premier League titles, the Champions League and a Club World Cup crown during his first stint at United from 2003-2009 and said he still loves the club, which finished eighth in the league last season.
Ronaldo says manager Erik ten Hag’s attitude is too negative, urging him to target the Premier League title.
The Portugal star, who now plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, fell out with ten Hag before his second spell at Old Trafford ended late in 2022.
Speaking on the “Rio Ferdinand Presents” podcast set to air on Thursday, Ronaldo said he was happy with the way the club’s administrators, led by INEOS boss Jim Ratcliffe, were investing in infrastructure.
