Ronaldo’s arrival at Manchester United was met with great excitement from the club’s supporters, but his relationship with manager Rangnick became strained. Reports from BILD suggested that Ronaldo had informed Rangnick about his availability for only four out of five matches.
A disagreement with the next manager, Erik ten Hag, led to Ronaldo’s departure from the club, as his relationship with Ten Hag was irreparably damaged after a fiery interview with Piers Morgan. Ronaldo questioned the decision to appoint an Austrian as both a sporting director and interim coach, stating that he had seen no progress in the club’s evolution since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure.
Despite the controversy, Ronaldo’s performance under Rangnick was commendable, with 12 goals in 22 appearances under the former Red Bull Leipzig boss. Some fans argued that he was unfairly targeted by certain sections of the media.
