Erik ten Hag was asked during his first press conference what Cristiano Ronaldo would bring to his team and he responded 'goals'.
A few months later and Ronaldo had actually brought more trouble to Manchester United than goals, as he found the back of the net just three times, with two (a rebound and a penalty) coming against FC Sheriff, before sitting down with Piers Morgan.
An unhappy Ronaldo wanted to engineer a move away from the club and an interview with Morgan, who was bound not to strongly challenge his version of events, seemed most likely to lead to the termination of his contract.
