Erik ten Hag faces first public detractor as Cristiano Ronaldo theory debunked by team-mate

Diogo Dalot has become the first Manchester United player to publicly disagree with Erik ten Hag's use of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese superstar has started just two games in the Premier League this season, with most of his minutes coming in the Europa League. The attacker has appeared to clash with Ten Hag several times, with the biggest coming last week when he stormed off before the end of United's win over Tottenham.

Following the game, Ten Hag showed his delight with his team's performance, hinting his side had played better without the 37-year-old. He insisted his focus was on the team, rather than Ronaldo's actions.
