"Should start ahead of weghorst as a striker."

Potential buyer praises Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag for Cristiano Ronaldo treatment

Thomas Zilliacus, one of Manchester United's potential buyers, praised Erik ten Hag for his treatment of current Al-Nassr superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was frozen out of the team by Ten Hag after not being able to replicate his best form. The Portuguese eventually left the club in November via mutual termination of his contract after an explosive interview where the forward lashed out at the Dutchman and the club.

Speaking about Ten Hag, Zilliacus told NOS (via GOAL):

“From what I’ve seen, he’s a brilliant manager, What he did with Ajax was amazing and what he’s done now with Manchester United is equally amazing. Because early in the season, things didn’t look very good. And he had the courage, which I really admire, to tell even big estabilished stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo ‘look, this is me running this and this is how I need to do’."

The Finnish businessman further added:

"And that led Ronaldo to leave the club which now seems to have been a good move, because the club is doing significantly better without him. I think he’s done an amazing job. So I really hope that he stays with the club and if I would be the owner I’d definitely want to see him continue."

United are currently undergoing a sale process after the Glazers put the club up on the market last year.
