A number of journalists and fans expressed their anger that Ronaldo
did not participate “not a minute” during the meeting, and he has great
experience in “heavyweight” matches.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane expressed his anger after the match
with Sky News: “Ronaldo is no longer for Manchester United to sit on the bench.”
He added, “I don’t care if Ronaldo does not put pressure on the defenders,
Ronaldo will score 20 to 25 goals for me in the league. He was the team’s top scorer last season.”
As for British journalist Piers Morgan, he said angrily on Twitter:
“Imagine not involving Ronaldo in the biggest match for Manchester United,
then using 5 substitutions and not involving him.”
He added: “Tin Hag is an arrogant and foolish man, and the way he treats Ronaldo is disgraceful.”
Ten Hag used 5 substitutions during the match, not including Ronaldo,
who warmed up and then remained on the bench.
Tin Hag response
For his part, the Dutch coach justified the reason for not including Ronaldo
during the match in statements after the match.
Ten Hag confirmed that he did not include Ronaldo “out of respect for
his history”, after the score became 0-4.
The Dutch coach said: “I did not include Ronaldo out of respect for his great career.
The other thing is that the French striker Anthony Martial needs to play,
I felt it was an opportunity for him to participate in the match.”
