EPL: It’s not been great management – Ten Hag criticized for Ronaldo’s Man Utd exit

Former Manchester United captain, Roy Keane, has criticized manager Erik ten Hag for his handling of Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure.

Ronaldo has left Old Trafford by mutual consent following his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.

In the interview on TalkTV, the Portugal captain claimed he felt “betrayed” by United and has “no respect” for manager Erik ten Hag.

Speaking to ITV before Germany’s World Cup game against Japan, Keane insisted Hag could have handled the situation better.

“I don’t think it’s been great management. I think it’s been a very difficult situation but I don’t think the manager comes out with it [looking well].

“People might say he’s put a marker down, part of management is looking after the top. You do have to treat top, world-class players differently. This idea that you treat everyone the same, you don’t,” Keane said.
