The former Manchester City manager will renew acquaintances with United when he leads out Real Betis in the Europa League
. Not that Pellegrini sees the link, insisting: “Ronaldo’s presence is never a problem, because of his commitment, professionalism, ability, dedication, what he transmits. A new coach came, investment was made, changes. That’s not easy. It’s a process, not about a player. Ten Hag has a trophy now, his style fits. Hopefully things go well now – after this game.
“That league can’t be taken away because it’s been lived – with your fans, at the ground. You were at Wembley, you lifted a cup. Could there be some legal means? I hope not, that everything gets clarified. But that can’t be taken from you. Imagine they take the trophy away, I don’t think the runner-up now feels like the champion. Football is the moment. You win on the pitch.”
Pellegrini has been talking for an hour and it’s almost time to go, his players arriving for training, when he asks a question. How many managers are older? There is a long pause. Ancelotti? “Five years younger,” he shoots back. “There must be one or two,” he says, but it’s hard to think and that defines him, drives him.is a word he uses: valid, in-date. He has no meniscus and can’t join sessions but there’s golf, tennis, running and the bike, daily.
