Cristiano Ronaldo has been told his "oversized ego" is "polluting" the Manchester United dressing room after his latest temper tantrum prompted manager Erik ten Hag into action.
The 37-year-old forward refused to come off the bench during last week's win over Tottenham before storming down the Old Trafford tunnel minutes before the end of the game. Ten Hag dealt with the matter by temporarily suspending Ronaldo from the first-team fold and banning him from Saturday night's clash with Chelsea.
Speaking before that fixture with the Blues, which ended in a 1-1 draw, Ten Hag explained his decision by insisting: "I am the manager, I am responsible for the culture here and I have to set standards and values and I have to control them. In the team, we have values and standards and I have to control that.
