Ronaldo “felt challenged” by Ten Haag
Use Chrome browser for more accessible video player In an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored on TalkTV, Cristiano Ronaldo claims Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag challenged him to leave the pitch against Tottenham. Ronaldo says he felt “challenged” by Ten Haag after refusing to play last month against Tottenham and leaving Old Trafford before the final whistle. Ronaldo said he believes Ten Haag “doesn’t respect him” in the way he “deserves”, although he had “regretted” his behavior against Tottenham in October, but feels the punishment he faced was too harsh. In the latest extract from his explosive interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV, Ronaldo also revealed he turned down a €350m bid to play in Saudi Arabia this summer and claimed he had “many offers” to leave United. The 37-year-old revealed he plans to continue his career into his 40s but is unsure which club he will represent beyond the Qatar World Cup, but hinted at a move away from United suggesting it is “probably good to have a new chapter” in his career. Away from United, Ronaldo said he would be “happy” if Arsenal won the Premier League, with the Gunners currently five points clear of Manchester City at the top. In excerpts shown earlier this week from the same interview, Ronaldo revealed he was “close” to a move to Manchester City last summer, before Sir Alex Ferguson stepped in, and was particularly critical of Ralf Rangnick’s era, as well as for the club’s new players. .
