Erik ten Hag's controversial Cristiano Ronaldo transfer decision says a lot about him

Carrington was the scene of some pretty serious crunch talks on Tuesday.

Cristiano Ronaldo arrived at the training base with his agent Jorge Mendes to discuss his future with new Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag. It was the first time he saw the Dutchman after announcing he wants to leave United this summer and join a side competitive in the Champions League, as he missed the club's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to personal reasons.

Sir Alex Ferguson was also present at the training ground, although it's unclear whether he was involved in the talks. United are adamant the legendary Red Devils boss was there on other business, but it's an unusual coincidence, especially considering the role he played in convincing Ronaldo to return to Old Trafford last summer and snub Man City.
