Reports suggest that Cristiano Ronaldo has provided advice to Karim Benzema regarding the possibility of working with Erik ten Hag at Manchester United. Despite having netted 15 goals in 24 games for Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League, Benzema is considering a potential return to Europe, with Manchester United closely monitoring the situation for a potential January transfer.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s previous comments about Ten Hag, expressing a lack of respect and accusing him of attempting to push Ronaldo out during the summer, might influence Benzema’s decision. Ronaldo had openly stated that Manchester United, along with Ten Hag, played a role in his departure, causing feelings of betrayal.
Currently, Ten Hag manages Rasmus Hojlund and Anthony Martial, with both players facing challenges in their performances.
