Erik ten Hag hopes Cristiano Ronaldo will use his time away from the first-team squad to reflect on his conduct.
Ten Hag has confirmed Ronaldo refused to come on in Manchester United's 2-0 win over Tottenham. Ten Hag has dropped Ronaldo for Saturday's game against Chelsea for refusing to come on, with the 37-year-old forced to train away from the first-team squad until Monday.
Ronaldo is understood to have been fined two weeks' wages for his public show of dissent, with Ten Hag claiming he had already warned the forward after he left Old Trafford early during a pre-season friendly.
