Erik ten Hag has left Cristiano Ronaldo under no uncertainty over how he could win back his place in the Manchester United starting XI.
The Portuguese forward was once again left on the bench by the Red Devils’ boss for Sunday’s clash with Arsenal - the fourth Premier League game in succession that he has been named as a substitute. In his place, United named a front three of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and summer signing Antony, who was making his debut since completing a big-money switch from Ajax.
In detailing his reasons behind the Brazilian’s inclusion from the off against the Gunners, Ten Hag hinted that he is already in sync with his demands - something that Ronaldo may have to work on should he wish to regain a starting berth.
