Arturo Vidal reveals bizarre theory for Erik ten Hag handling of Cristiano Ronaldo at Man United
The former Juventus and Bayern Munich midfielder came to a bemusing conclusion when discussing Ten Hag’s treatment of Ronaldo at Manchester United
Chile star Arturo Vidal has hit out at Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag for his handling of Cristiano Ronaldo prior to the superstar’s Old Trafford exit.
The former Juventus midfielder said the Reds boss had begun life at United “badly” before delivering a bizarre verdict on bald managers. Ronaldo left Old Trafford last November after publicly denouncing his then-manager by saying he had no respect for him having been frequently benched and at one time suspended.
He eventually joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr in January ahead of the nation’s mass investment on players this summer. Meanwhile, Vidal swapped Flamengo and Athletico Paranaense in Brazil
On his debut for his new club, he called his former boss, Jorge Sampaoli, a “loser” and claimed he did not appreciate his players. In the meantime, Vidal has been conducting his own online live streams.
During one, as per the Daily Mail, he hit out at bald managers after taking issue with how Ten Hag treated Ronaldo in his debut season at the club, given the striker had finished the 2021/22 campaign as United’s top scorers
Vidal said of Ten Hag: “That coach came in badly. How are you going to take out Cristiano Ronaldo? That’s how these guys are. He was the scorer and he takes him out. The bald guys are very complicated.”
Ronaldo scored just one Premier League goal in his second season back at United before leaving just a few months into the campaign.
