“Cristiano Ronaldo will never play for Manchester United again”

Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag should end his partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo as soon as possible. That is the overall conclusion of English analysts, who, incidentally, were not entirely unanimous on the consequence of the controversial incident.

“They score more goals without Ronaldo. They take more points without Ronaldo. It’s a better team without Ronaldo,” were former United player Gary Neville’s harsh conclusions to Sky Sports. “Ten Hag had no option but to put him out of the squad. This was already the second time he left too early, you can’t accept that. I think United and Ronaldo should end the collaborations this week. The club has to go on without him and Cristiano Ronaldo is the good to not be the big star of a team.”

Former midfielder Roy Keane actually sided with Cristiano Ronaldo. “Just last year he made a hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur and now he can’t do anything?” he wondered aloud. “You should only worry when he is smiling on the bench, then he doesn’t care anymore. On the contrary, he wants to play.” That Ten Hag had to intervene, incidentally, Keane understood after the action. “But he’s also just once, everyone makes mistakes.”
