Just weeks after dealing with Cristiano Ronaldo's strop against Tottenham, Erik ten Hag has once again been forced to act as a result of the Manchester United outcast's controversial behaviour.
Ronaldo was offered an olive branch by the Dutchman after storming out of Old Trafford against Spurs, but his explosive comments criticising Ten Hag and the Glazer family in an unsanctioned interview with Piers Morgan has made the 37-year-old's position at the club untenable.
Mirror Football understands that Ronaldo's teammates do not want the former Juventus star to return to the club after the World Cup - and Ten Hag has made a similar demand to the United hierarchy after Ronaldo's damning remarks relating to him.
