I think there’s plenty of doubt that he could have handled it better. Most objections seem to be about him trying to bring him on for 3 minutes. With no reason given other than ‘you can’t do that’.
He’s played him more than his performances deserved. He had no choice but to leave him out after the spurs game. He then started four matches after that. More than any other forward. He’s backed him publicly to do well. He’s never criticised him publicly. I’d say the only questionable decision was to give him the captaincy, but I can’t imagine Ronaldo had any issue with that.
I don’t think he could have handled this any better tbh. Ronaldo just seen his arse over his own form and can’t handle someone not giving him special treatment, which he doesn’t deserve and we can’t afford to give him,
