Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United did not have the desired effect. Returning in the summer of 2021 to the club which had revealed him to the eyes of the planet, the Portuguese finally left the club 18 months later amid tension with his coach Erik ten Hag. Before that, his predecessor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had suffered from the club’s poor results, leaving Manchester United two months after the signing of CR7. A signing which, according to the person concerned, had somewhat upset the balance of the locker room at the time.
“We brought him to Manchester United, but I think maybe that affected the whole dressing room, certainly the dynamic.regrets Solskjaer in comments reported by the Daily Mail. Maybe other players felt less important because, of course, he’s one of the world superstars coming in. He was the top scorer of the year, he scored 24 goals or something, but I was fired 10 weeks later. We couldn’t give him to Manchester City because he would have probably scored more goals than Erling Haaland at the moment. »
