Former Ghana international Kevin-Prince Boateng has called out Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag for the way he treated Cristiano Ronaldo at the club.

According to Boateng, the Dutchman handled the situation in the wrong way which led to the Portuguese leaving the club last season.

Ronaldo and Ten Hag didn't see eye-to-eye at some point in the 2022/23 season which led to the former being dropped to the bench before eventually leaving as a free agent after he had his contract terminated following an interview with Piers Morgan.

Ronaldo, in the interview, slammed the former Ajax man for directing him adding that he felt betrayed.

Despite winning the Carabao Cup last season, United have had results go against them this season as they have lost four of their opening seven games in the Premier League.

Boateng believes Ten Hag should be given the boot.

"He [Ronaldo] was the top scorer and he just kicked him out, he goes against the best player in the team, you don’t do that, you have to give him respect. There are ways to let a player off and I think he chose the wrong way," Boateng said on Vibe with Five.

"I think he’s got to go. From what I’m seeing, there’s no energy. I don’t see any energy. And then what he did to Ronaldo and all that, it’s too much stuff. I think he’s not on the level to be the coach of Man United.

"Even the team is not the best, they have some good players but not the best. But still, there’s no fire. When you come to Old Trafford, it’s like how you said, they put in a ball and there’s no pace, no one gets angry, no one puts in passion and fire. If my players aren’t doing that then as a coach, I have to do that."

Boateng bowed out of the game prior to the start of the 2023/24 season having returned to his boyhood club Hertha Berlin.
