Graeme Souness insists Cristiano Ronaldo is being shown disrespect as Erik ten Hag leaves him on the Manchester United bench.
The Portuguese star was an unused substitute in the Manchester derby defeat as the Red Devils conceded six. They found themselves 4-0 down by the break but Ten Hag opted to use all five of his substitutes and not bring on Ronaldo.
The United boss claimed he didn't introduce his No.7 out of respect for his career, but that argument has not gone down well with a number of former players and pundits. His being sidelined comes after Ronaldo made it clear he wanted out in the summer, but United maintained he wouldn't be sold and stood firm on their stance.
