Ronaldo and ten Hag

The coach of Manchester United, Erik ten Hag has stopped at Cristiano Ronaldo in the conference before the transfer of "Stamford Bridge" to Chelsea.

The Portuguese striker spent many minutes warming up during the United-Tottenham (2-0) meeting and in the last minutes hurried to the dressing room, obviously disappointed that the coach did not activate him.

The 37-year-old was not selected for the London clash and trained with United's U21s today, with the club expected to retain his two-week salary, which is equivalent to £1m.

Ten Hag has told his version about the not-so-pleasant event that happened on Wednesday . "Yes, it's true, Cristiano refused to enter the field in the last minutes... There should be consequences for this, which is important for the mentality and attitude of the group.

I do not intend to tell what we talked to each other, it will remain between us. However, I think my statements are clear: Ronaldo remains an important player for Manchester United. I am the coach, I am responsible for the culture of the team.

I have to set standards of values. It is the second time such a thing has happened, so the action must be accompanied by consequences. He will not be present in the match against Chelsea. It is a loss for the team, but it is important to build the mentality of the group" , declared the Dutch coach of United.
