Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has again taken a potshot at Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese star was with the Premier League club during Ten Hag's tenure as manager from April 2022 to October 2024. Ronaldo eventually fell out with the club and had an unceremonious exit in November 2022. Ten Hag, earlier this month, had also called out Ronaldo for letting him and the team down during his tenure as the United manager. The two had fallen out, with Ronaldo saying during the 2022 FIFA World Cup that he quit because of his falling out with Ten Hag.<h2>Erik ten Hag calls out Ronaldo</h2>"Every top team must embrace the top player, but the top player must also make way for the team. That was simply the problem with Ronaldo," ten Hag said on ESPN. "The players wanted to work for him and they looked up to him, because let there be no misunderstanding about that.

And they say goodbye at a moment when, to the outside world, they still appear to be at their peak, but they can no longer actually deliver."<h2>Ronaldo falling out with Portugal manager</h2>Ronaldo recently had a falling out with Portugal manager Jorge Jesus during the UEFA Nations League as well.

Michael Carrick to stay in charge of Manchester United for Chelsea match: Report

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has openly criticised manager Michael Carrick following the club's worst defeat in Europe in 30 years on Wednesday (Oct 21) against Como. United lost the match 4-1 in Como—their second loss in three European matches. The loss has put Carrick in danger of losing his job as the United manager, and a decision is expected to be taken before next Sunday's match against Bournemouth at Old Trafford in the Premier League. United have managed to win only two matches in 11 games across competitions this season, leaving Carrick under immense pressure after the latest defeat.<h2>Bruno Fernandes hits back at Carrick after drubbing at Como</h2>United conceded the first goal in the second minute of the match and could never recover from there. They subsequently conceded three more goals in the 49th, 57th, and 76th minutes before scoring one in the first minute of injury time post-90 minutes.Fernandes was visibly unhappy with Carrick's tactics and said during the match: "It’s a decision from the staff to not press man-to-man and sometimes leave space behind and try to get the ball, wait for them, but sometimes when you give space to these teams they get confidence."Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/psg-double-injury-blow-ousmane-dembele-khvicha-kvaratskhelia-barcelona-clash-1792586731793">Double Blow for PSG: Dembele and Kvaratskhelia injured in Barcelona clash</a>Upon being asked specifically about Carrick's tactics being wrong, he added: "That’s on the manager and staff to see, not me. Sometimes you have to be more brave under pressure, take the risk of pressing high and making them uncomfortable. As you saw with them, the centre-back was coming to mark me in my own half. We need to do that as a team but we were unable to."<h2>How Carrick responded to Fernandes' criticism</h2>Carrick, at the post-match press conference, was asked about his position and Fernandes' criticism, to which he said: "Listen, I’ve not given my own position any thought. [My thoughts are] for the supporters—I was one of them watching that and I wasn’t happy at all.""We actually half-pressed man-to-man in the second half and then conceded a goal from that," he said on being called out for tactics.

Champions League: Manchester United suffer joint-worst defeat in 30 years; Arsenal hold Bayern to draw in Munich

Former Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo let both him and the team down during their time together at the club. The Dutchman said he was eager to work with Ronaldo and had even travelled to Portugal to discuss his plans with the forward before taking charge of Man United in 2022.&nbsp;“He let the team down, and he let me down, because we planned with him,” Ten Hag told The Athletic.&nbsp;“I flew out to Portugal to speak with him about what I was aiming for before I came to United. Obviously, he’s one of the best in football history. I respected him a lot. But at that time, as a manager, I had to make a rational decision and keep the players I admire in,” he added.&nbsp;Ten Hag also expressed disappointment with Ronaldo’s training habits and claimed that the Portuguese star missed some training sessions, failed to work at the required intensity on other occasions and did not complete the running exercise assigned to the squad after their 4-0 defeat to Brentford early in the 2022-23 season.&nbsp;“I confronted him with this,” the Dutchman said. “Many times I say, ‘Ronnie, everyone wants to work for you to bring you in the right position, but if you can’t bring yourself in the box, you can’t score’. He was not capable to do this. It’s the wrong idea to put this to me, that I expected him to do the pressing, that he’s exhausted. But he couldn’t. He ran neither in possession nor out of possession. The reason was because he didn’t prepare himself.”&nbsp;Ten Hag added that even the best players must put the team’s needs first.&nbsp;“Every top team has to embrace the top player, but the top player has to work for the team.”&nbsp;Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ronaldo-handed-30-day-suspension-for-walking-out-on-portugal-national-team-1792466149725">Ronaldo handed 30-day suspension for walking out on Portugal national team</a>&nbsp;He further claimed that Ronaldo encouraged other players to save their energy during training sessions.&nbsp;“He was telling the players, ‘Save your legs at the training’. I understand it when you are top fit; you have sessions, you can save the legs. But first you have to train yourself to get into the right fitness levels.”&nbsp;The former United manager also felt that Ronaldo’s attitude influenced some of his teammates.&nbsp;“Players have to act, they have a big responsibility.

'He let the team and me down': Erik ten Hag reflects on Cristiano Ronaldo fallout at Manchester United

Atletico Madrid beat Manchester United 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday as the Red Devils continued their poor run, while Bayern Munich were held 3-3 in Norway by underdogs Viking Stavanger. Elsewhere, last season's beaten finalists Arsenal eased to victory over Lille while Barcelona came from behind to beat Galatasaray but Inter Milan lost a seven-goal thriller at home to Club Brugge.&nbsp;Atletico, who lost at Liverpool in their opening European encounter, took the lead inside the opening minute in the Spanish capital through Pablo Barrios. Alejandro Grimaldo struck the woodwork from a free-kick later in the first half.Johnny Cardoso also had a goal disallowed before the break but Ademola Lookman got Atletico's second in the 79th minute, just after United defender Leny Yoro had been sent off. The defeat continued the Old Trafford club's disappointing start to the campaign and increased the pressure on manager Michael Carrick.&nbsp;They have gone five matches without a victory and have won only once in seven outings, with a trip to Italy to face Como next up in the Champions League. "Tonight is a one-off game in judgement, it is the Champions League and a tough place to come. We are doing certain things OK," Carrick told broadcaster Amazon Prime. Viking, who are in the Champions League after winning a first Norwegian title in 34 years, appeared to be heading for a famous win over Bayern when they led 2-0 at half-time in Stavanger. Gianni Stensness headed them in front in the second minute and Peter Christiansen ran away to double their advantage.<h2>Olise sent off</h2>Harry Kane pulled one back from a penalty early in the second half and then headed in his eighth goal of the season in nine games in all competitions. Luis Diaz then converted as the match was turned completely on its head, but Bayern's Michael Olise was sent off in the 74th minute, the France star was booked and then shown a second yellow seconds later for throwing the ball at his opponent. He will therefore miss next week's home meeting with Arsenal.&nbsp;Viking snatched a memorable draw as Herman Haugen headed home in the last minute. Speaking to Amazon Prime, Kane said Olise “will be gutted and he has to take responsibility for it. It was a mistake, and mistakes happen. He has to learn from it. It's a shame because we have important games ahead of us.” Arsenal were too strong for Lille as the Premier League champions won 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium with goals by Jurrien Timber, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka, in the space of eight second-half minutes.&nbsp;Barcelona, one of the favourites to win the competition, maintained their 100&nbsp;per cent record this season with a 4-1 win over Galatasaray in Istanbul. Russian international Aleksei Batrakov gave the Turkish champions the lead and they then had another goal disallowed, but Joao Cancelo equalised before half-time. Lamine Yamal then turned on the style, setting up goals for Fermin Lopez and Anthony Gordon early in the second half, before substitute Karim Adeyemi sealed Barca's victory.<h2>Tresoldi hat-trick</h2>Italy-born German striker Nicolo Tresoldi scored a hat-trick, including a penalty, as Club Brugge claimed a remarkable 4-3 win away to Inter at San Siro. Romeo Vermant got the Belgians' other goal, with Lautaro Martinez on target twice for Inter as they succumbed to a second straight European defeat.&nbsp;In other games, Villarreal came from behind to beat Napoli 3-1 in Spain while RB Leipzig beat PSV Eindhoven 1-0 with a Brajan Gruda goal after Ivan Perisic failed to convert a penalty for the Dutch side. Sporting of Portugal won 2-0 away to Lens in France with goals by Luis Suarez and Issa Doumbia, and it was a night to remember for Sabah as the rank outsiders from Azerbaijan downed Slavia Prague 2-0 in Baku.&nbsp;Jamaican international Kaheem Parris and Rwanda's Joy-Lance Mickels secured their first victory in the league phase.Wednesday's Champions League games include reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain at Manchester City and Real Madrid at Roma.

Wayne Rooney insists his old club Manchester United do not deserve Premier League winners' medals if Manchester City are stripped of their titles for breaking financial rules.

They have strenuously denied the charges and City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak on Saturday said he is still confident of proving the club's innocence.&nbsp;City are expected to appeal against their eventual punishment, which is yet to be announced and could include a points deduction, expulsion from the Premier League or a huge fine.

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho once came agonisingly close to replacing Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United in 2013, he revealed. The ‘Special One’ instead said yes to Chelsea, the club he helped lift two successive titles in his first run years ago. The then-Everton manager David Moyes replaced Ferguson, who managed the club for 26 years and won 13 Premier League trophies, while Mourinho turned down a Man Utd offer to return to Stamford Bridge, as he had given them his word. &nbsp;Speaking on a Netflix documentary releasing on August 11, Mourinho revealed, "When I left Real Madrid, I signed to go to Manchester United after Sir Alex.”&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/diego-maradona-hand-of-god-ball-auction-10-million-us-1786263632650">Diego Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ ball expected to fetch $10 million at US auction</a> &nbsp;Sir Alex also confirmed the same, saying, "I sat him down and explained the situation.

While United’s offer was expectedly appealing for its rich history, Mourinho said he never regretted turning it down as that decision came from his heart. &nbsp;"But one thing is love for football, another thing is love for a certain club," Mourinho explained. "I think this is more powerful than love for football and fundamentally, after Real Madrid, I needed to feel that I'm loved. &nbsp;"For me to lose the chance to be the coach to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson was dramatic, but I don't regret [it] because it was a decision that I made with my heart,” he continued. &nbsp;What happened next was no less than cinema.

Manchester United have completed the £48 million signing of Brazil international Andrey Santos from Chelsea and are making significant progress in negotiations to sign Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans as they continue their midfield rebuild. Meanwhile, United's proposed £35 million move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson has been put on hold after a medical examination revealed an injury-related concern.&nbsp;United agreed a transfer fee with Chelsea for Santos last week, and the 22-year-old has now completed his medical and signed a contract until June 2031, with the option to extend for an additional year. "Andrey is an outstanding midfielder with excellent technical qualities and the ability to impact the game at both ends of the pitch," said director of football Jason Wilcox."He was a key target for us in an important position. "Despite already having extensive experience, leadership abilities and proving his talent at the highest level, Andrey still has enormous potential to develop further, and we cannot wait to see him flourish at Manchester United."&nbsp;Santos arrives at Old Trafford after helping Chelsea win the 2025 Club World Cup and making 43 appearances for the club last season. He will now work under Manchester United manager Michael Carrick, the former England midfielder. "Everything about Manchester United is special," he said.

Manchester United complete the £48m signing of Andrey Santos from Chelsea, advance talks for Youri Tielemans, and pause Ederson's transfer after medical concerns

Manchester United have completed the £48 million signing of Brazil international Andrey Santos from Chelsea and are making significant progress in negotiations to sign Aston Villa midfielder Youri Tielemans as they continue their midfield rebuild. Meanwhile, United's proposed £35 million move for Atalanta midfielder Ederson has been put on hold after a medical examination revealed an injury-related concern. United agreed a transfer fee with Chelsea for Santos last week, and the 22-year-old has now completed his medical and signed a contract until June 2031, with the option to extend for an additional year. "Andrey is an outstanding midfielder with excellent technical qualities and the ability to impact the game at both ends of the pitch," said director of football Jason Wilcox. "He was a key target for us in an important position. "Despite already having extensive experience, leadership abilities and proving his talent at the highest level, Andrey still has enormous potential to develop further, and we cannot wait to see him flourish at Manchester United." Santos arrives at Old Trafford after helping Chelsea win the 2025 Club World Cup and making 43 appearances for the club last season. He will now work under Manchester United manager Michael Carrick, the former England midfielder. "Everything about Manchester United is special," he said. "It is an incredible feeling to join a club that some of my biggest idols have represented. "As a midfielder, I am really excited to have the opportunity to learn from Michael Carrick. He is the perfect coach to help me take the next step in my career and push to achieve my dreams. “Everybody told me about how ambitious the club is and the amazing environment that has been created here.

Manchester United suffered a 2-1 defeat against Leeds at Old Trafford on Monday (Apr 13) after nearly four and a half decade as Michael Carrick lost first home game at interim manager of the Premier League side. The game, however, was marred by a controversy and a three-match ban for Man United's Lisandro Martínez being suspended for three matches. Martinez was given a red card in the match in addition to the ban after he pulled Dominic Calvert-Lewin's ponytail in the 56th minute of the match. Carrick says that the decision to suspend Martinez is 'shocking' and the club is most likely to appeal against it.<h2>Why Martinez was given red-card vs Leeds?</h2>The incident happened nearly 20 minutes in the second half when Martinez, behind Calver-Lewin, tugged at his ponytail which referee deemed as a red card offence and ousted the United player out of the pitch. Have a look at the video below:

Apart from being given the red card, Martinez was also suspended for three matches, a decision Manchester United may appeal against. Interim manager Carrick wasn't happy about the punishment doled out to Martinez and said: "The arm [is] in the face of Lisandro and he is off balance and grappling. He goes to touch his shirt and gets a red card for it.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/new-trial-in-football-great-maradona-s-death-begins-in-argentina-1776132503163">New trial in football great Maradona's death begins in Argentina</a>“It is not aggressive, there is no jolt, no tug. We have got to be careful where the game is going. It is a shocking decision, absolutely shocking. The red card, that is really concerning. I know he touched his hair. There is a difference to really aggressively touching it.”<h2>What does the loss mean for United?</h2>Despite the loss, United stay on third place on the points table with 55 points from 15 wins, 10 draws and 7 losses in 32 matches. Leeds, on the other hand, jumped to 15 the place out of 20 teams, with 36 points 8 wins, 12 draws, and 12 losses from 32 matches played. The win for Leeds, first against United a Old Trafford since 1981, has put Tottenham Hotspur further deep in relegation pit. The Spurs are 18th on the points table with 30 points from 7 wins, 9 draws and 16 losses in 32 matches. Last three teams in the Premier League, 18-20, get relegated to lower division Championship for the next season.

Benjamin Sesko was Manchester United’s late hero as he helped the Red Devils salvage a point in their Premier League clash against West Ham United on Tuesday (Feb 10). Playing at the London Stadium, United were trailing 1-0 after Tomas Soucek gave the home side a vital lead. However, the late goal had implications on both ends of the table, with West Ham rooted in a relegation battle, while United stayed in the top four.

According to reports, Premier League club Manchester United has sacked Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim after being in charge for 14 months

Manchester United are facing a major test after captain Bruno Fernandes suffered a hamstring injury during their 2-1 Premier League defeat against Aston Villa. The Portuguese midfielder pulled up late in the first half, played on briefly, and was replaced at the break. While the club is still assessing the injury, manager Ruben Amorim expects Fernandes to miss some time. Any absence would be a big blow for United.&nbsp;&nbsp;Since joining the club from Sporting in January 2020, Fernandes has been one of the most reliable players in the league. Out of 221 Premier League matches played by United during that period, he has featured in 212 and started 208. Only three of the nine games he missed were due to injury or illness.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/who-scored-the-first-and-last-centuries-of-2025-full-list-across-formats-revealed-ft-jaiswal-shah-and-more-1766424946705">Who scored the first and last centuries of 2025?

The club has lost four straight league matches he did not play and five of the last six overall.

Amorim has often said Mainoo and Fernandes compete for the same role, but the 20-year-old is currently struggling with a calf injury and may miss the Newcastle game. Amorim has not confirmed how long he will be unavailable.&nbsp;Another option is Manuel Ugarte, who could partner Casemiro if the Brazilian returns from suspension. However, Ugarte and Casemiro usually play similar roles, and United have not won any league game started by Ugarte so far. Lisandro Martinez is also an option, having replaced Fernandes at Villa Park, though he is mainly a defender and lacks attacking creativity.&nbsp;Mason Mount could offer a more attacking solution. He can play centrally or further forward and is in good form after scoring in recent matches. Amorim likes his flexibility, which could be useful during this spell. Youngster Jack Fletcher is another name in the mix. The 18-year-old made his debut recently and has impressed with his energy and passing, but starting him regularly in the Premier League may be a big ask.&nbsp;There is also a chance Amorim tweaks his system. United have been using a two-man midfield, but a shift to three could suit Mainoo when he returns and help balance the side without Fernandes.&nbsp;

Manchester United face a tough challenge after their captain picked up a hamstring injury. With key league games ahead, the manager must reshuffle the midfield and find the right balance to cope without his main creator.

Amorim has not confirmed how long he will be unavailable. Another option is Manuel Ugarte, who could partner Casemiro if the Brazilian returns from suspension. However, Ugarte and Casemiro usually play similar roles, and United have not won any league game started by Ugarte so far. Lisandro Martinez is also an option, having replaced Fernandes at Villa Park, though he is mainly a defender and lacks attacking creativity. Mason Mount could offer a more attacking solution. He can play centrally or further forward and is in good form after scoring in recent matches. Amorim likes his flexibility, which could be useful during this spell. Youngster Jack Fletcher is another name in the mix. The 18-year-old made his debut recently and has impressed with his energy and passing, but starting him regularly in the Premier League may be a big ask. There is also a chance Amorim tweaks his system. United have been using a two-man midfield, but a shift to three could suit Mainoo when he returns and help balance the side without Fernandes.

Manchester United face a tough challenge after their captain picked up a hamstring injury. With key league games ahead, the manager must reshuffle the midfield and find the right balance to cope without his main creator.
