Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has already handed Cristiano Ronaldo a lifeline at the club by refuting the transfer advice of his predecessor Ralf Rangnick.
Rangnick left the club in May after winning just 11 of his 31 games as interim boss of the club, even though it had been agreed that he would continue at the club in a consultancy role for two years. However, this did not come to pass as Ten Hag wanted a fresh start at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag never held a face-to-face meeting with Rangnick but did have a lengthy phone chat with the German prior to his exit just weeks later as his agreed longer-term role at United was binned by the club. The interim coach has now outlined his transfer advice to United, which was ignored by the club.
