Steve McClaren reveals why he told Erik ten Hag to choose between him and Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United
Former England manager Steve McClaren has made a bold claim about Cristiano Ronaldo’s final months at Manchester United. He said he advised Erik ten Hag early on that the club would need to make a tough choice between the star forward and the manager’s system. The situation developed during the 2022–23 season, when Ronaldo struggled to fit into Ten Hag’s high-pressing style. The tension later became public and eventually led to a dramatic exit.
