Ronaldo “I don’t respect the manager”
Ronaldo under ETH: Announced he wanted to leave, refused to come on as a substitute, walked off the bench & left before the game had finished.
99% of United fans will be on the side of ETH, which shows how badly Ronaldo has handled this.— Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) November 13, 2022
Menurutnya, walaupun sosok Ronaldo sangat besar di Manchester United, sebagian besar orang akan berada di pihak ten Hag. Perkembangan permainan United di bawah ten Hag pada musim mendukung hal tersebut.
Berbeda dengan Carragher, Piers Morgan mendukung kritik yang dilontarkan Ronaldo terhadap klubnya.
Manchester United are 5th in the League, 13pts off the lead, and in the Europa League KO stage play-offs. Since Sir Alex retired, they’ve stagnated & become a mediocre club. Everyone knows this. Ronaldo’s spot on with his criticisms.— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 14, 2022
Ia membenarkan bahwa memang Manchester United sedang tidak berada di level top dengan fakta kini mereka duduk di peringkat 5 dan bermain di Liga Europa daripada di Liga Champions.
Mark Goldbridge, Youtuber “The Stand United” melihat wawancara ini sebagai perpisahan antara sang pemain dengan Man United.
It amazes me how many people don't realise this is Ronaldo's Goodbye Interview. Fallout with Ten Hag, the shambles the way the club is run, his love for the fans. He knows it's over and is clearly going out on his terms. It's over— Mark Goldbridge (@markgoldbridge) November 14, 2022
Menurut laporan terakhir, Erik ten Hag tidak akan memakai jasa Ronaldo di klub setelah melihat wawancaranya dengan Piers Morgan.
