Man Utd fans roast Erik ten Hag as Cristiano Ronaldo calls out 'very bad coaches' he's had that 'don't have a f*cking idea about football'

<p>Portuguese superstar Ronaldo has worked with some iconic managers, including Sir Alex Ferguson, Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane. He has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/proud-cristiano-ronaldo-thanks-man-utd-golden-boot-record-al-nassr-superstar-more-goalscoring-history/bltd1a95d73f71bd357" target="_blank">enjoyed considerable success at Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus</a>, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/still-very-good-cristiano-ronaldo-year-or-two-future-admission-al-nassr-superstar-play-on-into-40s/blt389715975465574d" target="_blank">still going strong at Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It has not all been plain sailing for Ronaldo, though, as an emotional return to Old Trafford in 2021 soon turned sour. He <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ten-hag-manchester-united-vidal-ronaldo/blt6cd8eca2b957ebe4" target="_blank">butted heads with Dutch coach Ten Hag</a> on a regular basis, leading to his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/ronaldo-on-purpose-man-utd-exit-strategy-stam-handled-better/blt9b32129c6b01c4a3" target="_blank">contract eventually being torn up as he was released as a free agent</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Without referring to Ten Hag by name, Ronaldo has told <a href="https://www.lasexta.com/noticias/deportes/futbol/analisis-cristiano-edu-aguirre-mbappe-estuviera-madrid-ensenaria_2025020367a06ef4e95c0600018520f7.html " target="_blank"><em>La Sexta</em></a> when asked what makes a good coach: “He has to have been a player before. If he hasn't been in a dressing room, it's very difficult, impossible. If you look at history, of the 50 best, 48 have been players. I don't have a favourite coach, I learned from everyone. I've had very bad coaches. They don't have a f*cking idea about football.”</p>

WHAT CRISTIANO RONALDO SAID

<p>United fans have been revelling in Ronaldo’s comments, with <a href="https://x.com/FootyAP/status/1886554113690812771" target="_blank">@FootyAP</a> saying: “We all know who that is.” <a href="https://x.com/Mohsin_Bahi_01/status/1886547139305648423" target="_blank">@Mohsin_Bahi_01</a> said: “Cristiano Ronaldo's comments about some of his past coaches definitely stir up some drama.” <a href="https://x.com/sj_pep47683/status/1886548951156826431" target="_blank">@sj_pep47683</a> was happy to get involved with that, saying: “Bodied Ten Hag even in unemployment is crazy petty from my GOAT.” <a href="https://x.com/kingosazexman/status/1886653331101114702" target="_blank">@kingosazexman</a> added “cook Ten Hag” while <a href="https://x.com/evansmemphis/status/1886576046847209505" target="_blank">@evansmemphis</a> chimed in with “cooked that imbecile, love it”.</p>
