New Manchester United Manager Sends Stern Message to Cristiano Ronaldo and Other Senior Stars
Follow Us
Manchester United have always been a hub for controversy ever since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure. The Great Scotsman was adept at handling huge egos in his dressing room, but it hasn’t gone as smoothly with his successors at the club.
Players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba, and Cristiano Ronaldo are global superstars, who would ideally ground themselves and play for the badge. While there has been no indication that these players have caused problems in the dressing room, the rumor mill keeps on churning.
As a result, handling the egos of a dressing room as big as United’s is a task that only a select few can manage. The Reds would hope that Erik Ten Hag is one of those select few.
