Fred Explains How Ronaldo’s Rift With Ten Hag Affected Manchester United
Former Manchester United midfielder Fred says Cristiano Ronaldo’s disagreement with Erik ten Hag created tension in the club’s dressing room. Speaking on a Brazilian podcast, Fred said Ten Hag’s high-intensity pressing system was a major source of friction. According to him, Ronaldo struggled to fit the physical demands of the manager’s approach as he got older. The dispute reached its peak after Ronaldo’s 2022 interview with Piers Morgan, in which he said he did not respect Ten Hag and felt let down by the club. Manchester United terminated Ronaldo’s contract shortly afterwards, ending his second spell at Old Trafford.
