Erik ten Hag laid down the law to wantaway Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo by axing him from the side in front of his team-mates during a team meeting.
According to The Sun, the new Red Devils boss is reported to have gathered his side together last week before their impressive 2-1 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford and urged the players to speak their minds without any concern for the potential consequences.
It was during this meeting that the United boss informed both Ronaldo and club captain Harry Maguire that they would both be omitted from the starting eleven against Jurgen Klopp's side. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is thought to have remained silent throughout the chat, while other players are believed to have had their say.
