It Is Simply Disrespectful To Not Use Ronaldo – Souness

Liverpool legend, Graeme Souness has come out to slam Erik ten Hag and Manchester United for stopping Cristiano Ronaldo from leaving Old Trafford over the summer and now disrespecting the football icon. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Ronaldo can sit with any group of players in the history of the game, dead or alive, and argue that he is the greatest of all time, so the last thing he deserves is disrespect.

Souness added that it is simply disrespectful to not use Ronaldo, and he doesn’t buy Ten Hag’s explanation.

His words, “Ronaldo has an argument for saying, ‘I’ve been the best player ever’ – he can sit with any group of players in the history of the game if they were still alive and argue that.”

“So, the disrespect Manchester United are showing him now, I don’t see the point in going through the aggravation which they have done in making him stay to not use him.”

“It’s disrespectful not to use him. I don’t buy that [Ten Hag’s explanation], I think you’re showing more disrespect by not using him.”
