Erik ten Hag breaks silence on Cristiano Ronaldo’s £400m Al-Nassr transfer following explosive Man Utd exit

The Portuguese superstar, 37, cla'imed he wanted to play Champions League but has ended up in th'e Saudi Pro League.

And when asked what he tho'ught of Ronaldo’s decision to sign for Al Nassr, United boss Ten Ha'g delivered a brutal snub.

He said: “I don’t talk about th'e past. Let’s talk about the fut'ure.”

Ronaldo had said he felt betr'ayed by United and did not respect D'utchman Ten Hag in a controversial Ta'lkTV interview with Piers Morg'an.



Al Nassr played for the first tim'e since Friday’s announce'ment at Al Khaleej, winning 1-0 to go to'p of the league.


Reports last night claim Rona'ldo could face Lionel Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain in an all-star friend'ly against a combined XI from Saudi sid'es Al Nassr and Al Hilal.

Meanwhile Rio Ferdina'nd, a team-mate of Ronaldo during h'is first spell at Old Trafford, defended h'is decision to make the switch to Sau'di.

He said: “For any footba'ller at whatever level, happiness and the environment you’re playin'g in is one of the most important th'ings.

“He hasn’t been happy for a wh'ile so I’m pleased he’s on the ve'rge of finding that happiness and goi'ng on to pastures new, albeit in a co'untry that not many people expec'ted him to go.


“There’s only two sad things for m'e. The way it ended at Man Utd, I’m sad about that.

"The way the World Cup end'ed for him, a tinge of sadness, in ter'ms of being on the bench, not hav'ing a huge impact in his last 1.

“But this next chapter going to Saudi Arabia, how do you look at that as a sadness? A sad way to end his career? I don’t understand how people are saying that.”
