"At least he has standards" - Fans react as Manchester United star appears to like post regarding Cristiano Ronaldo's comments about Ten Hag
According to @totalcristiano on X (formerly Twitter), Alejandro Garnacho liked a post on Instagram which contained Cristiano Ronaldo's recent comments on Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag. The Portuguese legend recently spoke in an interview about his second stint at Old Trafford and the club's current state.
In an Instagram post, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano detailed Ronaldo's comments criticizing Ten Hag and his mentality. Ronaldo emphasized that Manchester United are a big club and should strive to win major trophies such as the Premier League and Champions League every season.
Ronaldo added that the Red Devils need to rebuild and Ten Hag cannot do so without the knowledge of those who played a part in the club's glory days. He urged the manager to take advice from his assistant manager Rudd Van Nistelrooy who was formerly a player at the club.
The Al-Nassr forward also mentioned that ex-players like Rio Ferdinand, Roy Keane, Pauk Schole, and former manager Sir Alex Ferguson could also offer advice to help in the rebuilding process at Old Trafford.
United winger Alejandro Garnacho seems to agree with Cristiano Ronaldo's assessment, as he liked the post by Romano on Instagram. The 20-year-old winger played alongside the Portuguese skipper during his second stint at Old Trafford and is a huge fan of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
Fans have reacted to the post with many commending Garnacho for concurring with Ronaldo's comments about the club and manager. Check out some of the reactions below:
One fan wrote:
"Thats my playa!"
A second fan said:
"Garnacho knows Ten Hag needs to be changed."
"They'll make it a big deal as usual," a third fan chimed in.
Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo fell out with Erik ten Hag and the club's management during his second spell, which eventually led to his exit from the club.
When Cristiano Ronaldo slammed Erik ten Hag for showing him no respect
Before his exit from Old Trafford in 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo claimed that he didn't respect Erik ten Hag because the manager showed him no respect. While speaking in an interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo said (via GOAL):
"I don't have respect for him because he doesn't show respect for me. Honestly, I shouldn't say this. But listen, I don't care. People should listen to the truth. Yes, I feel betrayed and I felt that some people they don't want me here. Not only this year, but last year too."
Ronaldo's comment about the manager and the club led to his contract being terminated. The five-time Ballon d'Or then secured a move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, where he currently plies his trade.
