The row with Cristiano Ronaldo and subsequent fall-out has proved to be the defining saga of Erik ten Hag's Manchester United reign so far.
The Red Devils boss, in his debut season at the helm, took on the biggest star in the squad and came out triumphant, proving he was not one to be taken for a fool. With that in mind, some old comments from Edinson Cavani have resurfaced that could offer an explanation as to why Ten Hag was so keen to part ways with Ronaldo.
Speaking in May of last year, Cavani admitted he thought his own days at Old Trafford were numbered following Ronaldo's arrival. He seems to suggest that whenever the five-time Ballon d'Or winner joins a club, a manager feels forced into playing him.
