Cristiano Ronaldo's recent criticism of Manchester United's management has intensified scrutiny on manager Erik ten Hag, especially after a poor start to the season with two losses in three Premier League matches. Ronaldo called for a complete rebuild of the club and criticized ten Hag for suggesting that United cannot compete for the Premier League and Champions League titles. In response, ten Hag dismissed Ronaldo's comments, stating that the player himself acknowledged the difficulty of United's current situation. Ten Hag emphasized that external opinions do not affect him and reiterated the club's ongoing transition phase. As United prepares to face Southampton, the pressure is mounting for ten Hag to improve results, especially after a humiliating 3-0 loss to Liverpool. The club's hierarchy continues to support ten Hag, but his future may hinge on upcoming performances.
