Erik ten Hag has been warned that he will lose control of Manchester United's dressing room unless Cristiano Ronaldo leaves the club this summer.
The Dutch manager did not have the start he would have hoped for on Sunday as he lost his first Premier League match against Brighton at Old Trafford. It took just 39 minutes for Ten Hag's side to concede two goals as dreams of a win in United's Premier League curtain-raiser quickly turned into a nightmare for the Reds.
Within the first-half, all of the pre-season optimism appeared to vanish as the players trudged off to the dressing room greeted with a chorus of boos from the home crowd. It took just eight minutes of the second-half before Ronaldo was stripped off and introduced into the action as he tried to salvage something from the game.
