Cristiano Ronaldo‘s departure from Manchester United in 2022 undeniably left a significant impact that is still referenced today. Following each of the team’s disappointing defeats under Erik ten Hag, Ronaldo’s exit has frequently revived criticism towards him. Such is the case after the Red Devil’s loss to Chelsea when critics reproached the Man U boss for supposedly getting “rid of the only man who had a standard,” referring explicitly to CR7.

Ten Hag continually advocates setting ‘example’ and ‘standards’ for his players, a sentiment he reaffirmed amidst past controversy surrounding Jordan Sancho. Nevertheless, the ‘standard’ introduced by him thus far seems to have garnered dissatisfaction among several Manchester United fans.

The fiery critique then took aim at the 54-year-old, challenging his conduct with the words. “Ten Hag keeps talking about standards.
