Cristiano Ronaldo and Tyrone Mings pulled apart after heated exchange in Man Utd defeat

Manchester United and Aston Villa players had to intervene after both Cristiano Ronaldo and Tyrone Mings came to blows during the Red Devils' 3-1 defeat in the Midlands on Sunday.

The Portuguese was selected to start in the Midlands by Erik ten Hag and was even granted the captain's armband. He did not quite have the impact that anyone desired though with the Red Devils finding themselves 2-0 down within just 11 minutes following goals from Leon Bailey and Lucas Digne.

United threatened a comeback before the break as Jacob Ramsey put through his own net but the Villa academy graduate had the perfect response as he extended his side's lead after the restart.
