The idyll between Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United is very close to its end. It is clear that the star’s second cycle at the club is far from being what was expected, so the Portuguese is trying to force his way out to a club that participates in the Champions League. However, the big problem is that those uncommitted attitudes began to fray the spirits of his teammates who describe him as “unprofessional”according to what the British press published on Wednesday.
“CR7’s intention of wanting to leave Manchester did not materialize at the momentmotivated certain attitudes of the Portuguese that generate problems in the locker room with his teammates”published the newspaper The Sun in reference to the discomfort that exists in the squad led by the Dutch Erik ten Hag with the team’s top star.
The Lusitanian striker made public his desire to leave Manchester United for a club that participates in the Champions League and that intention “generated tension” between the player and the club. According to The Sun “An important part of the squad believes that the Portuguese’s situation with the club harms the team because he is seen in training with an unprofessional attitude”.
The attacker did not travel to United’s pre-season tour of Asia and Australia citing “family problems” and then angered Ten Hag by retiring in the middle of a friendly against Rayo Vallecano when he was substituted, instead of staying to watch the end of the game on the substitute bench with the rest of his teammates.
On the first date of the Premier League in which Manchester lost at home at Old Trafford with Brighton (2-1) the DT arranged for the Portuguese star to join the bench of substitutes and only enter when he averaged the second half replacing the Brazilian Fred.
