Ten Hag Will Be Happy Ronaldo Wants To Leave
07 July, 2022
It has been claimed new Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag will be delighted that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave the Red Devils.
With it being widely reported that the 37-year-old is seeking an exit from the 20-time English champions, clubs such as Chelsea and Bayern Munich have emerged as favourites for his signature.
While the news has come as a surprise to many, ex-Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor believes that, although supporters might feel disappointed, Ten Hag will be pleased to be losing the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. "You [as one of his United teammates] would just be disappointed. You've just lost [Paul] Pogba, then Ronaldo's going to leave too," he told Football Insider.
"Players will look up to him and see he's meant to love the club. But it just shows there is no loyalty to football from clubs to players and players to clubs.
"If there is something better for Ronaldo, he will go, he will drop Man United immediately, he doesn't care.
"I'm sure it's very disappointing for Man United fans and he's ruining his legacy. When they needed him, Man United fans will remember that he jumped ship.
"Even Ten Hag, he is probably buzzing deep down. He's probably delighted because he wouldn't have started him too much next season anyway."
Ronaldo scored 24 goals in all competitions for United last season, with 18 of those strikes coming in the Premier League.
