Rio Ferdinand has insisted that Cristiano Ronaldo will be "absolutely fuming" at Erik ten Hag for continuing to leave him out of Manchester United 's starting XI.
Ronaldo has been left on the bench for both of United's last two games against Liverpool and Southampton. Ten Hag's men picked up wins in both of those outings, with Marcus Rashford starting in the central role up front.
The 37-year-old's exclusion came as somewhat of a surprise when it was first announced for the visit of Liverpool to Old Trafford. But it quickly became seen as an inspired decision by Ten Hag after United picked up their first win since the Dutchman took charge.
