The Ronaldo circus needs to leave town... for Ten Hag’s sake Britain’s best columnist
IT is right, and proper, of Manchester United to allow Cristiano Ronaldo the time and private space to deal with family issues.
But surely there comes a moment when everyone connected with the club – the manager, players and fans – deserves a bit of clarity on the situation.
Two weeks today, United start their Premier League season at home to Brighton. Erik ten
Hag could do without a
Ronaldo saga clouding
his kick-off.
IT was a smashing comeback from the Lionesses against a classy Spanish side.
But for long periods of the game, Sarina Wiegman’s team looked extremely laboured.
Wiegman (above) tends to stay loyal to her regular starting XI, but, even though it is a Euro semi-final, she may be best freshening things up a bit for Tuesday’s big game.
THE JLingz thing may be a touch wearing to some, but Jesse Lingard (below) is a good player who should be a useful asset to Nottingham Forest.
However, when a player from an elite team is parachuted into a close-knit squad and is comfortably the best-paid player there now, you wonder what effect it will have on morale if things do not go immediately to plan.
One thing is for sure, managing Nottingham Forest has just become a touch harder for
Steve Cooper.
