“He Did It With Cristiano”- Former $83.8 Million Teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo Reveals True Nature of Manchester United Boss Erik ten Hag

When Manchester United hired Erik Ten Hag, he laid down some strict principles for the squad. He hasn’t compromised with those since then, and now we can see how it is the one factor helping the club in its revival. Ten Hag hasn’t stopped himself from punishing the players despite their stature. It was evident when he dropped Cristiano Ronaldo last year from the squad for leaving early.

United star Bruno Fernandes highlighted the same during an interview with BT Sport. Fernandes spoke about various aspects, like the demanding nature of the manager and his captaincy, while speaking on Between The Lines with United legend Rio Ferdinand.

Bruno Fernandes sheds light on Ten Hag punishing Cristiano Ronaldo 

The first thing Erik Ten Hag did on his appointment as United manager last season was reset the previous culture. He laid down his demands from the squad and let the players know that ill-discipline won’t be tolerated in the group. He has been strict about his principles since the appointment, and the players like Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford have already got the stick from the manager. 

When Rio Ferdinand asked Fernandes about Ten Hag and his demanding nature, the Portuguese replied, “He demands from people. He demands, and you either do it, or you’re out. In the beginning, everyone was like: ‘Will he do that if a big player doesn’t do what he wants? Will he pull him apart or not?’ And then he did it many times, he did it with Cristiano, he did it with Jadon, and with Marcus also.”
