The week's events couldn't have secured Erik ten Hag's position at the club any more.
Cristiano Ronaldo's pathetic shots aimed at his manager - either in an attempt to reinstate his authority, to ensure he never plays again or both - have not even pierced his turtleneck. Ronaldo claimed multiple times that Manchester United fans are 'always on his side' but the only holdouts at this point are his hoards of Twitter freaks who follow the man rather than any club, certainly can't be considered United supporters and whose opinions should not be taken into account.
The vast majority of match-going supporters began to take umbrage with Ronaldo after his outburst against Tottenham - if he's leading by example then he must be commanding a troop of stroppy children - but like Ten Hag, they were willing to give him another chance after he had paid his dues. But now he has tarnished his legacy forever by putting himself above the club and trying to throw down an anchor when the ship is finally heading in the right direction.
