Former Juventus and Barcelona midfielder, Arturo Vidal has blasted Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag over his treatment of Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 36-year-old said that Ten Hag’s tenure at Old Trafford began “badly” as a result of his choice to drop Ronaldo, who later moved to Saudi Arabia.
According to The Mirror, Vidal, a fiery player known for winning titles in Germany, Italy, and Spain, claimed on a Twitch stream that it was due to “bald guys” being “complicated.”
After pushing for a transfer, abandoning his fellow players during a pre-season friendly. And ultimately criticizing the club in an interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo’s second spell at United ended in failure.
But despite the fact that Ten Hag oversaw some progressive development in his first season at the helm and an EFL Cup victory, Vidal thinks Ten Hag should take the fall for the collapse.

“That coach came in badly,”’ Vidal said.
“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 his enjoying a new lease of life at Saudi club, Al-Nassr.
The Portuguese superstar has plundered 29 goals in 33 games for the Riyadh-based outfit.
Man United on the other hand, have had a difficult start to the season. The Red Devils have won just three of their games across all competitions, leaving them in 8th position in the Premier League table.

Hahaha, bald guys complicated? They said short men have huge egos also. Can you imagine the ego on a short, bald man? Hahaha!
Vidal too will likely go bald in the next 5 years, so he better take his time 🙂 🙂 🙂
As for CR7, as deadly as he is, he’s no longer a spring chicken. Ten Haag likely felt he needed younger strikers. But having a player like CR7 on the bench is not bad either, if CR7 is willing to play an impact sub role.
Evidently, CR7 does not want to finish his career on the bench. Besides, a little Saudi oil money never hurt nobody. So CR7 chose to bounce, and the rest is history.
