I agree with what Cristiano Ronaldo said, it is too poor for the manager to have that weakness and even letting the public know they can't compete for any title, which means the game against Southampton is going to be a game they're going to lose. I now see why some Manchester United players perform very well when playing for their country but awfully while playing for UTD. ETH has lost it and to me he doesn't deserve the chance to continue with the club.
Ronaldo was right. He was talking about the truth. He talked about weak weak mentality of his former club
It's weird. Ten Hag, Manchester United's coach, wasn't trying to motivate his club to compete for all the important titles. He don’t even believe in his anymore. And that’s filtered down to his players.
I know ETH is being realistic, but now that he has a decent team, he should be aiming for higher target. So, it can help the players to be motivated. But, sadly, we already threw in the towel before the fight, which is really inappropriate to see that.
Maybe Ronaldo saw all these or observed all these from the very beginning and it has been with him whenever he talks to the players in the dressing, who knows? When he starts saying all of this it doesn't show any sign of the coach motivating the players to push harder to get the job done but it kills their fighting spirit. Players who are trying to play out their best they don't see that teacher who's suppose to tell them "work harder you can do it" they only have ETH who will say " you can't do anything to win a single game" which is bad.
If Manchester United are not doing well in any way it has to do with the mentality he has impose on the team so there is no way Manchester United can do anything positive, to me he doesn't believe in the team even if there are other issues going on in the team but he doesn't have the right to come out publicly to say all that, is like revealing his plans to his opponent before a game, he should be warned seriously.
