Former Premier League manager Tim Sherwood has blasted Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag for his recent comments surrounding handing Cristiano Ronaldo the armband away at Aston Villa.
The 37-year-old has struggled at United this term, but was offered a chance to force his way back into Ten Hag's plans on Sunday afternoon having been given the role of captain at Villa Park. Things didn't exactly go out to plan, with the hosts inflicting a 3-1 defeat on United and Ronaldo having minimal impact on proceedings.
After the game, Ten Hag made some interesting comments on why Ronaldo was given the armband, conceding he is by no means the first choice to deputise for usual skipper Harry Maguire and named a number of players he views as better options.
