Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo has expressed confidence that new manager Erik ten Hag will be up to the task at Old Trafford, but demanded that he be given enough time if the team wants to get back on track.
Rumors have circulated about Ronaldo’s future at Manchester United, an English Premier League football club, after a season without a title, in addition to the team not qualifying for the Champions League this season.
“What I know is that he did a great job with Ajax and that he is a veteran coach,” Ronaldo told the club’s website on Friday. “But we have to give him time. We need to make a difference in the way he wants”. , according to Reuters.
The 37-year-old became one of Manchester United’s few highlights in a tough season under interim manager Ralf Rangnick, with Ronaldo scoring 24 goals in all competitions.
“I hope we succeed, of course, because if we succeed, then all of Manchester will succeed too. I wish him (Ten Hagu) success,” added the Portuguese.
“We are happy and excited not only as players, but also as fans. Let’s hope we win titles next year,” Ronaldo said.
Dutchman Ten Hag, who signed a 3-year deal, signed for United after 5 seasons at Ajax, where he led the team to three league titles and two Dutch Cups.
United, ranked sixth in the English Premier League, will travel to Crystal Palace for the final game of the season on 22 May.
