Posted by According to former Manchester United striker Michael Owen, Erik ten Hag chose Cristiano Ronaldo incorrectly.
According to Owen, the 37-year-old should have been a regular in the Dutch manager’s lineup.
The team’s goal-scoring problems, in Owen’s opinion, could have been resolved with Ronaldo.
Following his contentious interview with Piers Morgan, the Red Devils canceled the Portugal captain’s contract.
Marcus Rashford has been asked to score 20 goals every season by Ten Hag, but Owen thinks United already has an attacker who can score 20 goals per season.
I’ve heard Ten Hag say that Marcus Rashford definitely needs to score 20 goals in order to do this, that, and the other, the man remarked. Well, they had 20 goals right there in front of him, but he was, regrettably, often on the bench.
“Things had to stop the way they were going, but it didn’t have to be that way. The point is that if he had used him every week, he would have found a solution to the goal-scoring issue.
Ronaldo scored 24 goals for Manchester United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick last season, but Erik ten Hag preferred Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial over Ronaldo in his attack.
