Erik ten Hag accused of 'disrespecting' Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United

Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo has been "disrespected" by Erik ten Hag this season.

United played out a frustrating 0-0 draw against Newcastle at Old Trafford on Sunday, as Ten Hag handed Ronaldo only his second Premier League start of the season. The 37-year-old has been mainly used to lead the line for the Reds in the Europa League, as he struggled for minutes domestically.

Ronaldo was handed his second league start on the weekend after he bailed out his United teammates to score the winning goal against Everton in their previous fixture at Goodison Park. However, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner failed to make another telling contribution as the Reds could not find a way past Nick Pope to break the deadlock.
