Ronaldo ‘warns’ Benzema about ten Hag
United may encounter a hurdle in their pursuit of Karim Benzema following reports of Cristiano Ronaldo cautioning his former Real Madrid teammate about working with Erik ten Hag, as per SPORTbible.
Ronaldo’s past association with ten Hag during their time at Old Trafford was marked by a strained relationship, ultimately leading to the forward’s departure in January 2023.
The discord between the two stemmed from disagreements on various matters, with Ronaldo openly stating that he had no respect for the Dutch coach due to his perceived lack of respect for him.
