Erik ten Hag and Man Utd dressing room’s reaction to Cristiano Ronaldo’s trending interview

Erik ten Witch and the Manchester United changing room are said to be very disheartened with Cristiano Ronaldo’s assault on the club.
Ronaldo dropped the stunner that he feels “betrayed” by Man United together and that he has turned into a “black sheep” in an unstable detailed story interview with Piers Morgan, in which he conceded he has no regard for Ten Hag.
The 37-year-old forward, who has become a bit-part player at Man United this season, slammed the club’s progress since the successful Sir Alex Ferguson regime and claimed there are senior people behind the scenes at Old Trafford trying to force him out.
According to Sky Sports, the Man United squad and Ten Hag only found out about the explosive interview following their last-gasp win over Fulham.
They learnt it was to be published that night as they boarded a flight from London to Manchester and are said to be upset with the manner and timing of its release.
The interview was released in conjunction with the Premier League breaking for the World Cup, with Ronaldo heading off to join his Portugal teammates.
Domestic football is now on the back burner with Ten Hag not due to speak to the press or make a decision at Man United until after the tournament in late December.
Ronaldo will likely leave United the following month in January as his interview appears to have burned bridges beyond repair at Old Trafford.
In the interview, published via The Sun, Ronaldo was particularly scathing of his boss Ten Hag, saying: “I don’t have respect for him because he doesn’t show respect for me.
“If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you. If you don’t have respect for me, I’m never gonna have respect for you.”
He also hit out at his fellow teammate and United legend Wayne Rooney, saying: “I don’t know why he criticises me so badly. Probably because he finished his career and I’m still playing at a high level.
“I’m not going to say that I’m looking better than him. Which is true.”
Sir Alex Ferguson was briefly mentioned in Ronaldo’s outburst, with the forward saying: “He knows better than anybody that the club is not on the path they deserve to be.
“He knows. Everyone knows. The people who don’t see that… it’s because they don’t want to see; they are blind.”

Varane sends warning message to Man Utd’s attackers ahead Champions League game

Raphael Varane has called for Manchester United‘s forwards to display greater efficiency in front of goal to help improve their disappointing start to the season.
United’s recent 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace marked their fifth defeat in the first nine matches of the season, raising questions about the quality of Erik ten Hag‘s squad despite significant investment.
So far this season, United has only managed to score seven goals in seven league games, with Marcus Rashford contributing just one goal himself.
While Varane didn’t single out any specific attackers, he emphasized the importance of their performance at the elite level to drive the team’s success.
“[The Champions League] is about details and you have to be efficient to win the competition,’ the Frenchman added, ahead of Tuesday night’s clash with Galatasaray.
“In the last moments we need more efficiency.
“It is a low number of occasions we concede goals and we need to create a lot to score. That is the reality of the top level.
“You need to be efficient to win trophies. We have the quality in the squad to win competitions. We have to move forward and improve.”
Marcus Rashford has attracted significant attention, especially due to his struggles in Manchester United’s recent defeat to Crystal Palace.
Despite ranking second for the most shots in the Premier League, behind only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, Rashford has only managed to get six of his 28 attempts on target.
These statistics highlight a need for greater accuracy and effectiveness in Rashford’s finishing, which could significantly impact Manchester United’s goal-scoring capabilities.

Liverpool could face huge disciplinary fine after VAR controversy

“It’s important to me that people don’t start thinking we have so many red cards so we are a kicking team,” the German told reporters after his side’s loss to Spurs. “We don’t
Liverpool is facing the possibility of a £25,000 disciplinary fine from the FA following their dramatic 2-1 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur over the weekend.
The match ended in a last-minute loss for the Reds, culminating in Joel Matip’s unfortunate 96th-minute own goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Adding to Liverpool’s frustration, the PGMOL later acknowledged a VAR human error that wrongly disallowed Luis Diaz’s goal, further fueling their disappointment.
While the PGMOL chief Howard Webb extended an apology to the club for the disallowed goal after the game, it provides only minimal solace to Liverpool in the wake of their narrow defeat.
The match was marred by several incidents that left club officials feeling aggrieved.
Liverpool’s woes didn’t conclude with the match. Curtis Jones was controversially shown a straight red card in the first half after VAR intervention, and Diogo Jota received two quick-succession bookings leading to his dismissal during the second half.
Additionally, Alexis Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, and assistant manager Peter Krawietz all received cautions.
The FA has a policy of penalizing clubs with more than five bookings in a game, making Liverpool susceptible to a fine.
Typically, a £25,000 fine is imposed when a team accumulates six or more cards during a single match, and Liverpool meets this criterion.
The decision now rests with the FA regarding whether they will take official action. However, considering that most of Liverpool’s cards were a result of officiating errors that shaped the course of the game, it remains to be seen if the FA will hold Liverpool accountable or consider the circumstances that led to their predicament.

Pochettino sends messages to Chelsea fans over Mudryk effort to adapt

Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has expressed his willingness to be patient with Mykhaylo Mudryk, the €100 million winger from Ukraine.
Pochettino emphasized that Mudryk is a highly talented player but highlighted the importance of a gradual transition.
He noted that Mudryk is currently adapting to life in London and with Chelsea, acknowledging the differences in culture.
He said, “Mischa is a very talented player of course. You need to go with him slowly. His culture is very different, but he is trying to be more open, to adapt, to be more involved, on and off the pitch.
“He is doing a massive effort to try to integrate himself and understand better what it means to play in the team.
“It’s not about arriving and performing when you are young,’ added Pochettino.
“It’s about adapting, helping them to settle. Then the most difficult thing is to understand what they need to settle and feel comfortable and express their talent.
