Cristiano Ronaldo has been public about his views on Manchester United and coach Erik ten Hag. Recently, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner said that the club needs to “Rebuild everything”. Interestingly, nobody knows what happened between Ronaldo and ten Hag during the Portugal star’s second stint with the Red Devils but now Manchester Evening News has shared a story which gives an idea of what happened. The report suggests that Ronaldo threw a tantrum over his earrings after being asked not to wear them.
According to the newspaper, Erik ten Hag directed his players not to wear jewelry during training sessions. While Cristiano Ronaldo had worn earrings under both Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick, ten Hag implemented a different policy. Eventually, ten Hag asked his assistant, Steve McClaren, to address the issue with Ronaldo. When McClaren informed Ronaldo to remove his earrings, Ronaldo responded by tossing them into a bush.
Ronaldo has 638 million followers on Instagram, 170 million on Facebook, and 113 million on X. The Al-Nassr captain recently launched his YouTube channel and broke the record for hitting the fastest 10 million subscribers.
Ronaldo broke the record by ousting Hamster Kombat. Hamster took seven days to hit the 10 million mark, while Ronaldo achieved it within a day. (Cristiano Ronaldo’s Luxurious Car Collection: Porsche 911 To Rolls Royce Phantom, A Glimpse Into Football Legend’s Garage)
