Shearer praises Ten Hag and believes Man Utd can finish in the top four after he upset Ronaldo

Posted by

Legendary Newcastle United player Alan Shearer praised Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, for defeating Cristiano Ronaldo.

Additionally, he stated that the Red Devils could only finish in the top four of the Premier League if they sign a striker in January.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract with Manchester United was terminated when the legendary footballer gave an inflammatory interview to well-known British journalist Piers Morgan after a series of collisions with Ten Hag.

Manchester United defeated Bournemouth 3-0 on Tuesday night at Old Trafford to move into the top four of the Premier League, level on points with Newcastle in third.

To qualify for the Champions League the next year, Manchester United must finish higher than Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool.

Ten Hag has had a difficult time dealing with the Ronaldo scenario. That fight was a significant one for him to win, and he won it.

“I’m sure they’ll strive to strengthen in the next two weeks, and if they can – particularly in the forward area… then they’ll have a decent go at being in that top four and sticking in there,” said the author.
