Ander Herrera slams Cristiano Ronaldo critics as ex-Man United ace makes Erik ten Hag demand

Former Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has defended Cristiano Ronaldo and sent a word of warning to Erik ten Hag.

Ronaldo has only started one Premier League game for United this season, with Ten Hag opting to use the 37-year-old to lead the line for the Reds in the Europa League instead. Injury concerns over Anthony Martial have now opened the door for a potential second league start against Newcastle on Sunday.

Martial came off after half an hour against Everton with a back issue as Ronaldo replaced the Frenchman. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner made an instant impact, scoring the game's winning goal with the 700th club strike of his career at Goodison Park.
