Cristiano Ronaldo 'mistreated' by Man United as Graeme Souness reckons Ten Hag is repeating fatal Liverpool mistake

Passionate Graeme Souness reckons Cristiano Ronaldo is being mistreated by Erik Ten Hag - just like he was by Joe Fagan while playing for Liverpool in the 1980s.

The Ronaldo saga is dominating the European football headlines after a bombshell interview where the Portuguese claimed he feels "betrayed" by his manager. The 37-year-old has been reduced to a bit-part role after his failed transfer in the summer and infamously refused to come off the bench against Tottenham back in October - prompting Ten Hag to boot him out of the squad against Chelsea three days later.

It's claimed Ronaldo was promised a more prominent role within the squad in a bid to keep him happy but that has not materialised with Ten Hag repeatedly refusing to bow to him. And after Ronaldo publicly called out the manager and his treatment of him on Sunday night, the club were forced to release a statement promising to take action "once the facts had been established."
