Funny enough in 2017/2018 Zidane rested Ronaldo a lot that season, there were matches Ronaldo was benched but there was mutual respect between Zidane and Ronaldo.

[@3chenteruiz]

Agreed, and it’s because Zidane proved to be a man of his word. He knows what it’s like to coach and be coached at an elite club. ETH with all his “experience, values and morals” hasn’t the slightest clue how to manage at the elite level. He violated the two most important core values: honesty and trust.

[@sotiriosnovatsis4529]

@@3chenteruiz None of us can comment on Ten Hag’s honesty because none of us know what was said between him and Ronaldo. All you’re basing that on is what Ronaldo says. That’s only one side of the argument.

[@3chenteruiz]

@@sotiriosnovatsis4529 Actions speak louder than words, my friend. Ronaldo asked to leave in the last transfer window because of what he foresaw for the club. There is a reason the Glazers are looking to sell the club; in time, ManU will come to show what Mourinho and Ronaldo have mentioned regarding poor decisions and poor football heritage. Zlatan and Alexis Sanchez have said the same thing. Di María flopped and die-hard ManU fans yelled at the top of their lungs that the club was too big for them. Do you know how ridiculous that sounds considering the clubs they played and won for?! The events speak for themselves.

[@sotiriosnovatsis4529]

@@3chenteruiz Ronaldo will always have a place in my heart, but you're right...the events do speak for themselves: poor form all year, disobeying the manager, storming into the changerooms during matches, unauthorised interview. The evidence is all there. Yes, there is a reason the Glazers are selling: because they ruined the club. And Ronaldo is not ignorant; he knew what he was getting into when he signed. The others left because the coaches were going nowhere. Ten Hag has already shown that slowly and surely he is actually turning this team around.

[@3chenteruiz]

@@sotiriosnovatsis4529 Poor form all year? He managed to be a top-scorer with arguably the worst ManU side in the last 20 years. If you want to point to an event that impacted his form: the passing of his child. You’d need to be ignorant or cruel to dismiss that fact. Compound on that ETH’s need to make an example of him with the younger players. What little success he had with Ajax depended on having a young, impressionable squad. That’s who he is, a coach for the youth, not the elite. The best managers look for the best way to get the most out of their top-players, and he hasn’t been able to do that. Time will tell.

[@enoch6450]

I actually agree with Souness on this. There was obviously a conversation at the beginning of the season.. there's no way Ronaldo would of agreed to stay unless he was told he starts.

nah it's pretty difficult to understand, in fact to understand it he has to imagine a hypothetical conversation where ten hag lied to rapenaldo, but then when confronted with how ridiculous that conjecture is, he chalks it up to "poor decisions" (despite suggesting ten hag would make the Perfect and Necessary decision two months prior). it's horseshit imagination to carry water for a billionaire man-baby who probably doesn't know 6 x 7. rapenaldo has been crap this season, got benched for it, threw a tantrum because he's never willing to hear "no" (that's why he assaulted those women).

Let's not be naive. United had decided Ronaldo wasn't going anywhere before Ten Hag was even a factor in the conversation.

[@MD_ENTERTAINMENT]

But he only didn't leave because his agent couldn't find him a suitable club

[@ktorn1]

@@MD_ENTERTAINMENT correct, out of the very few european clubs that could afford United's asking price + Ronaldo's wages. Ronaldo should have taken that record-breaking wage offer and moved to the middle east, but he's too obsessed with the CL. EtH never planned his team around Ronaldo, because he didn't expect him to be there in the first place.

[@amenstal123]

If he REALLY wants to Play, he could go to Napoli or back to Sporting. Why didn't he do that ? You see it's not United who created this mess in the first place. He could have committed to the Club earlier in pre season but he bailed and wanted to leave. United and The Fans weren't expecting that. It was Ronaldo who disrespected Ten Hag and The Club. If he is a Professional he should offer a formal apology and sort this all out. United is building a New Team the whole team and it CANNOT be centred on one individual be it an exceptional one who is more committed on his career rather than The Club. To me he should apologize and be professionally fully committed for this season and think about his options next season. Ten Hag WILL play him in many games like he did in The Europa League and recently against Newcastle. This is how he can leave his legacy to The Future of The Club not running away.

The real issue for Ronaldo is that the guys playing ahead of him arent producing goals and he knows he is BETTER than them. If Rashford, Sancho, and the boys were actually scoring goals i dont think Ronaldo could have an argument for playing more. But when hes watching them do NOTHING while he rides the pine, HELL YEAH hes pissed to not be playing.

[@Clydelyng]

Problem is neither is he. He had plenty of chances this season but the whole attack collapsed with him as the focal point. Exactly the reason why none of the big clubs in europe wanted him this summer.

[@azcrypto9073]

Ronaldo still very better off in front. France Played a Giroud who had no shot on target all through the competition and still won the cup. Football is about taking up roles and doing it well. Last season, Ronaldo was a saviour, but you'll not realize this because we still had half chance to play Europa league because of the goals he scored. Manchester united are purely ungrateful, Ronaldo is also not right for not been able to hide his feelings on some issues; but thats his way after all.

I’m pretty sure ETH never made such commitments that he would start Ronaldo every games at the start of the season.

In addition, one of the reasons Tuchel got sacked is he reportedly vetoed signing Ronaldo) -“Lower” level teams like Sporting can’t afford his wages -Noone can name one team that would want him and he would be willing to move to -Bar the Chelsea game (for which he got himself suspended for) United have played 15 games. -Ronaldo has started against Brentford, Sociedad, Ommonia x 2, Sheriff x2, Newcastle so half the possible games and has been average at best. Was pretty average for a Portugal in the international break too. The guy is the greatest player of all time and my personal favourite but he isn’t that guy anymore. Arguing that he should start because of who he was is only one step removed from saying that Pele should lead the line for Brazil in Qatar. His performances haven’t been great when he has started, against largely weak opposition.
