The former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher believes Erik ten Hag has to make a statement with this Manchester United squad and part ways with the 37 year old attacker Cristiano Ronaldo. Carragher compares it to the time when Jürgen Klopp came to Liverpool in 2015
‘(Jurgen) Klopp comes into Liverpool straight away, they’d bought players under Brendan Rodgers that summer
‘I think (Christian) Benteke cost them about £35/40million it was a few quid, he was a big signing, centre forward, and he was like ‘You’re not for me, out!’ And making that big bold decision straight away, it makes everyone sit up and think ‘Oh this fella takes this job seriously!’
‘I’m convinced he’s (Ten Hag) got to do that with Ronaldo, whether he’s allowed to or not, and I’ve said this consistently throughout this season, that was not a good signing.
