Erik ten Hag told how Cristiano Ronaldo inadvertently helped him at Manchester United

Former Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic believes the way Cristiano Ronaldo handled himself in the final stages of his second Old Trafford spell helped Erik ten Hag succeed.

Ronaldo left United under a cloud in November following a controversial interview with Piers Morgan for TalkTV. During the conversation, the Portuguese legend took aim at Ten Hag, the club and the Glazers in a bombshell discussion.

Four days after part two of the interview aired, Ronaldo and the Reds mutually parted ways and the 38-year-old went on to sign for Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr. Since his exit, Ten Hag's men have performed well, are on course to finish in the top four and have a second Wembley final to look forward to against Manchester City in the FA Cup having already won the Carabao Cup.
