Cristiano Ronaldo made a series of claims about Manchester United's training complex back in 2022, and former coach Mike Phelan has now given his take on the state of Carrington
Former Manchester United assistant Mike Phelan has agreed that there are 'issues' at the Carrington training centre in response to Cristiano Ronaldo 's previous criticisms of the facilities.
Ronaldo spent six years at United from 2003 and 2009 before returning to Old Trafford 12 years later. Speaking to Piers Morgan in November 2022, shortly before his contract was terminated at United, the forward said: “I don't know what's going on but since Sir Alex Ferguson left I saw no evolution in the club, the progress was zero. Nothing changed. Surprisingly.
"I think Cristiano realised as well, and you have to understand that all these players in the Premier League, they have these facilities at home, it's amazing really," Phelan said. "Man United had it all there. Yes they had a few portacabins in the carpark and things like that, but tell me a place that doesn't when you need to grow and grow quickly so it's easier to get a portacabin in the carpark than wait to build something."
