Manchester United supporters have welcomed the news that Cristiano Ronaldo will be dropped from the squad for Saturday’s trip to Stamford Bridge.
The 37-year-old was seen trudging down the tunnel before full-time in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Tottenham after being benched for a seventh Premier League game.
As a result, Erik ten Hag has taken decisive action. Ronaldo, who netted 24 times last season, is considered Ten Hag’s third-choice striker behind Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.
