“The complexity of bald individuals led to Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag was criticized by Arturo Vidal.”
Cristiano Ronaldo’s second spell with Manchester United was a chapter many would like to erase from his career. CR7 expressed a challenging relationship with coach Erik ten Hag and the management which led to his contract being terminated by the Red Devils. Recently, Chilean soccer star Arturo Vidal criticized the Dutch coach and raised concerns about his choices regarding Ronaldo’s role in the 2022-23 season.

During his second period with Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 27 goals in 54 games. Despite having numerous appearances as a substitute or being substituted out, he frequently expressed his disagreement with Ten Hag’s decisions and even refused to play at times. This led to Arturo Vidal questioning the manager’s choices.
The former Barcelona player had a difficult time understanding the Dutch coach’s decision to remove Ronaldo despite his impressive performances. In an interview, Vidal expressed his frustration, stating, “That coach came in with a negative attitude. How could he remove Cristiano Ronaldo? That’s how these guys are. Ronaldo was the top scorer and they take him out. Bald guys can be very complicated.”
“This coach made a bad decision. How could he take out Cristiano Ronaldo? This is how these guys are. He was the top scorer and he substitutes him. The young players can be difficult…”

During an appearance on Pier Morgan’s show, Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his frustration.
CR7 was fed up with his second stint at Manchester United. Despite his unwavering determination, he was unable to secure a transfer to the Red Devils. He felt disrespected by the club officials for not recognizing his hard work in training and on the field. As a result, the legendary player expressed his frustration towards both the club and the manager during an appearance on Piers Morgan’s show.
The coach of the United team did not want him to be a part of the team, as shown by his behavior towards the talented Portuguese player. In an interview with Morgan, CR7 stated, “I do not have respect for him [Ten Hag] because he does not show respect for me. If someone does not show me respect, I will not show them respect either. I felt deceived. I believe that certain individuals did not want me here, not just this year but also last season.”
“I feel betrayed.”
