Cristiano Ronaldo spoke today about the arrival of Dutch coach Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United.
What waves of euphoria flooded the famous “Old Trafford” when it was announced that one of the best football players of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo, would return to Manchester United?
The arrival of the incredible Portuguese was supposed to represent a new beginning and a return to the days of glory, but all the dreaming at the “Dream Theater” was quickly interrupted by the slap of reality.
United experienced the statistically worst season in the history of the Premier League. They are currently seventh in the table, having suffered traumatic defeats from neighboring City, Liverpool‘s biggest rival, and even Brighton, who filled the net for the fallen giant.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was fired in November and replaced on the bench by Ralf Rangnick, who, if he had not signed only a temporary contract until the end of the season, would almost certainly have suffered the same fate.
The supporters of the “Dream Theater” are turning to some new hero who will save their club from the abyss, and it is about the man who managed to bring Ajax back to life, Erik ten Hag.
The Dutch expert broke the drought of five years at the “Johan Cruyff” arena and brought as many as four championship titles. Ajax also led to the semifinals of the Champions League and, from next season, they will lead the team of Manchester United.
However, what bothered the fans of the “Red Devils” were the constant rumors about the potential departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, who at the age of 37 is the only bright spot in the dark tunnel in which United is wandering.
On the other hand, Ronaldo stated that he is looking forward to the future at Old Trafford and praised the Dutch coach, against whom he played in the Champions League when Juventus suffered a crushing defeat.
We are all happy and excited, not only as players but also as fans. “We have to believe that we will win the title next season,” said Cristiano, and added:
-I know that he did a fantastic job in Ajax and that he is an experienced coach, but we have to give him time, as Ronaldo points out.
This season, despite the pale games of his team in the Premier League, Ronaldo scored 18 goals, had three assists and only with Son and Mohamed Salah was better than the Portuguese in numbers.
