Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has praised Erik ten Hag for how he dealt with the Cristiano Ronaldo incident against Tottenham, insisting that Sir Alex Ferguson would have handed out his infamous 'hairdryer' treatment.
Ronaldo refused to come off the bench against Spurs in midweek, with the 37-year-old storming down the tunnel during the Reds' 2-0 victory over Antonio Conte's side on Wednesday night.
Ten Hag reacted by dropping the Portuguese international from his squad to face Chelsea on Saturday - as well as forcing the striker to train away from the first-team side at Carrington.
