“Cristiano Ronaldo gets p…when he’s not playing of course”, reveals Ten Hag | European League

“I don’t see you unhappy. He’s happy, he’s training well, he’s enjoying it. He wasn’t happy that he didn’t play on Sunday, but the question was about how he’s doing in training, and there he’s happy. But of course he wants to play and gets p…when he’s not playing The coach said.

Ten Hag confirmed that he did not put Cristiano Ronaldo to play against Manchester City (6-3 defeat) out of respect for his career and not because there is a risk that he will leave United in January or at the end of the season. His contract runs until June 30.

Cristiano Ronaldo has played eight of his nine official matches for Manchester United so far this season, starting with three. There is a chance that he will start the next match against Omonia.

Cristiano Ronaldo is very competitive, as we all know. I repeat: he is not happy not to play, but he trains well, is in a good mood, motivated, and does his best. “That’s what we’re hoping for,” Ten Hag said.

Manchester United is trying to recover from the defeat suffered by rivals City, in order to Premier League. And coach Pep Guardiola thanked the “reality check” for the 6-3 defeat.

“Obviously it was a rough day. As always we’re analyzing. It was a reality check, we have to learn from it and move on. You have to respect the opponent, but we have to keep our philosophy, our rules and our principles,” Pep and City commented.
