Erik ten Hag is set to lead Manchester United to their lowest points tally in the Premier League era and Cristiano Ronaldo has been vindicated.
In November 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United for the second time under controversial circumstances.
Before leaving, he criticized the club's low standards and the leadership of Erik ten Hag., famously stating in an interview with Piers Morgan:
"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.
Ronaldo, who finished as United's top scorer in the 2021/2022 season with 24 goals, continued
"I think the fans should know the truth. I love Manchester United but if they want to return to the top, they have to change many things."

Cristiano Ronaldo was never the problem at Manchester United

The same issues that existed two years ago have remained. The same underperforming players are still underperforming, and nothing has changed.
Ten Hag's treatment of David De Gea, Jadon Sancho and Ronaldo, has shown a manager more eager to impose himself as the main character and has exposed flaws in his man-management.
If there were any doubts about Ten Hag's future at Manchester United, last night's 4-0 loss to Crystal Palace has likely sealed his fate, particularly in the eyes of new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
The defeat leaves United at risk of failing to qualify for Europe next season, a scenario that would be a first for the club since the 1989-90 season
Despite a season filled with setbacks, a remarkable display by Crystal Palace, led by Michael Olise, made it one of the most humiliating nights of ten Hag's time as manager.
Ronaldo may have been wrong about his approach but in the end, It's time to acknowledge that he was never the problem at Manchester United
